PHAST stands for “Protecting Health and Slamming Tobacco”.
PHAST’s mission is to Protect Health And Slam Tobacco by organizing peer education and advocacy projects in our schools, our communities, and throughout Stanislaus County.
Current PHAST Club membership is over 500 students from 29 different high schools around the County.
