We prepare students for their future, it is important that their academic careers mirror workplace expectations. Drug testing is a routine part of employment. Drug testing in the school setting as a requirement to participate in privileges such as driving, clubs, and athletics normalizes these procedures and benefits the community as a whole by encouraging drug-free lifestyles. As our mission is Student-Centered Excellence, we strive to ensure each graduate is prepared for the expectations of their future.
