Students Against Destructive Decisions (S.A.D.D.) is an organization open to all students, freshmen through seniors.

Prior to Red Week, meetings are held once a week in the morning. After Red Ribbon Week, meetings are held when needed. Throughout the year, when a student has his 16th birthday, S.A.D.D. sends him a congratulatory note along with a S.A.D.D. key ring. S.A.D.D. is moderated by Mrs. Lynch.
This organization acts as the student governmental body of Br. Rice High School. Freshman through senior students are encouraged to participate. The Student Council facilitates a variety of activities, includ-ing Homecoming Spirit Week, blood drives, Mission Madness, food and toy drives, and student council election of officers.
