Keeping your school drug and alcohol-free is not just good sense. It's the law. Your school must now be totally free of unlawful drugs and alcohol. The law requires our school to make you aware of the dangers of drugs and alcohol in school. Drugs and alcohol harm not only the person who takes them, but everyone in the school community.

• Distort what you see, hear, and even feel. This makes you not fully in control of your actions. You may harm yourself or others.
• Make you feel you are doing your best, even when your actual performance is really poor.
• Cause crimes at school, including theft of your personal belongings to pay for someone else's drug habit.
• Leave you with a criminal record, spoiling your chances for the future.
