What is the ANGP?

You are invited to be a part of a tradition that exists to keep our soon-to-be graduates safe on one of the most accident-prone nights of their lives – graduation night. Each year the parents of the junior and senior class plan an all-night celebration that is alcohol and drug free. The purpose is to provide a safe environment for the entire senior class to join together one last time and celebrate their graduation from West Springfield.

The West Springfield All Night Grad Party (ANGP)  is sponsored by the PTSA,  a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization and falls under the guidelines developed by the Virginia Operation Prom/Graduation program (OP/G). In response to a 1987 Virginia DMV request, the Virginia Dept. of Education developed the OP/G program to address the serious issues of youth drinking, drug use, and driving behavior during high-risk social events. Graduation and Prom are two of the highest risk nights for teens. This will be West Springfield’s 26th year!
