Welcome to OCADA (Our Community Against Drug Abuse)
OCADA (Our Community Against Drug Abuse) is a local coalition established in 2010; supported by a federal Drug Free Communities Grant; and operated by school and community members.

The OCADA Mission is to work together to protect our youth from substance abuse, to foster a safe community, and to establish a network for: Information, Awareness, Support Without Judgment and Change. OCADA offers school and community-based programs and opportunities for adults to collaborate and make an impact on substance abuse prevention. All are welcome to attend monthly coalition meetings or events listed on the District calendar.
