SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), a national school based peer-to-peer education and prevention organization, announced on May 25 that Jacqueline Hackett of Harleysville, Pennsylvania, has been named its National Student of the Year for the 2004-2005 school year. Jacqueline will be the national student spokesperson for the organization, which has more than 10,000 chapters and millions of members in schools nationwide, taking on issues of teenage drinking and other drug use, as well as being an active participant in the national debate over prevention policies aimed at teens. Her responsibilities also include serving a one-year term on SADD's national board of directors. Jacqueline has been a member of SADD since 1998, and is currently Pennsylvania's SADD Student of the Year, a member of SADD's National Student Leadership Council and Executive Committee, and since 2001 the leader of Pennsylvanians Against Underage Drinking Youth Committee. In February, Jacqueline testified on behalf of SADD before the Congressional Subcommittee on Education Reform at a hearing on "Preventing Underage Drinking: What Works?" She plans to attend George Washington University in the fall. Jacqueline will begin her term as the National Student of the Year during SADD's annual conference in July in St. Louis, Missouri. SADD is a national student-based organization with chapters in thousands of middle schools, high schools, and colleges across the country. Its mission is to provide students with prevention and intervention tools to effectively address such issues as underage drinking, drug use, impaired driving, teen violence, and suicide.
