The P.R.I.D.E Program
Positive Role Models In Drug Education
The P.R.I.D.E. Program is Irving's anti-drug program for young people. It was organized in 1989 by a committee composed of educators, police officers, citizens and business leaders. It was implemented in the 1990-91 school year as a joint project of the Irving Police Department and the Irving Independent School District.
This school year, P.R.I.D.E. is in 21 public elementary schools in three different school districts within Irving and we have expanded our program to include the private schools in Irving as well.
P.R.I.D.E. is an acronym for Positive Role models In Drug Education.
