Why TUPE?

The TUPE program educates our students on the dangers of tobacco, nicotine, cannabis, and alcohol use, enabling students to become leaders in educating their peers and the community. Students are empowered to be an integral part of the program's prevention efforts.

Is someone's vaping becoming a problem?

Currently, all tobacco and marijuana vape related issues are being reported using the TUPE Support Referral Form. Parents, students, teachers, counselors and administrators can all fill out the form to refer a student who may need help. Once received, the referrals are assigned to a case worker who will then follow up with the student. The TUPE Coordinator is also made aware of the situation and will contact the case worker in order to provide education or intervention. Use the link below to submit a referral. 


Are you ready to quit vaping?

Screenagers Documentary

Free Screening @ Alhambra High School!

Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age, the third feature documentary in the Screenagers trilogy, delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use. The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. The film also includes many ways young people are using their wisdom and strength to help each other and themselves through this complicated terrain around substance use.


While most documentaries about substance use focus on severe addiction, Screenagers Under The Influence fills a pressing need for a film that explores more common scenarios. The film is grounded in teens’ current reality of being flooded by images on social media, movies, and TV shows about vaping, drugs, and alcohol.


Like the first two Screenagers films, Screenagers Under The Influence interweaves cutting-edge science with personal stories to create an informative and entertaining film experience for young people and adults alike. Screenagers Under The Influence focuses on practical solutions for keeping our teens safe in a changing world. 

Congratulations to all the students who participated in this contest!  We're very proud of you!
