According to the most recent KIP (Kentucky Incentives for Prevention) data 2,010 students in the Four Rivers area think drug use is a problem at their school. 

The Graves County Cooperative Extension Service in partnership with the GCMS Youth Service Center  implemented Truth & Consequences: The Choice is Yours, a scenario based role-play activity designed to help students learn more about the physical, legal, financial, and emotional consequences of substance abuse, for 174 eight grade students. 43 community partners and 90 parents participated in the event as well.

Student evaluation results revealed the following: 95% of eighth graders indicated that it was slightly or not wrong at all for someone their age to participate in one or two drinks of an alcoholic beverage; 91% also indicated that there was slight or no risk in people harming themselves physically or in other ways if they participate in one or two drinks of an alcoholic beverage; and 674 indicated slight or no risk in harm associated with marijuana use.
