Responsible Young Drivers

Approximately 200 students gathered in the Ryle auditorium this afternoon for the Responsible Young Driver program.  The RYD program is held every semester at Ryle for two very important reasons:
  1. to celebrate the 16th birthday of our students (all had recently turned 16 or will turn 16 in the coming months)
  2. to discuss the responsibility inherent in student's earning their driver's license and becoming a driver.
The guest speaker for the students was Brad Fritz, a 26 year old friend of Ryle High School, that has delivered similar messages to Ryle students for many years.

Brad Fritz was a sophomore at Covington Catholic High School when he was involved in a horrible accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury.  In a powerful presentation Brad describes his accident and injuries and the choices that were made leading up to the unfortunate accident.  Brad goes on to discuss his recovery and the physical and psychological struggles with his injuries.



Please be safe when you drive!
