Frederick Douglass High School will host mock funerals for 15 students Thursday to teach about the dangers of drunk driving.

Atlanta Fire Rescue will assist the school with the annual “Ghost Out” program.

As part of the program, 15 students will be selected to be part of a staged alcohol or drug-related crash. Firefighters will help act out the crash, students will write obituaries and mock funerals will be held, firefighters said.
