Stow high school seniors to learn about drunk driving on eve of prom night
Nearly 500 seniors at Stow-Munroe Falls High School will learn the dire consequences of drinking and driving on the eve of prom night. Friday the school will host its annual Prom Promise, a program spread over the course of the morning meant to show students the potentially deadly and life-altering consequences of mixing alcohol into year-end celebrations.

The Stow-Munroe Falls High School Wind Ensemble needs your help to honor local members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Many questions remain after a 15-year-old Stow-Munroe Falls High School student was found in possession of a large knife on Friday.
