(KANSAS CITY STAR) — Beginning in the fall of 2013, every student at Rockhurst High School will be tested at least once a year for drug and alcohol use.
“It’s a huge shift,” Principal Greg Harkness said Thursday. It’s an unprecedented step among Kansas City area schools.
“But it’s one we need to do,” he said.
Not because the private Jesuit school has any extraordinary drug and alcohol abuse problems, Harkness said.
