[quote=Anonymous]STA does have an alcohol/drugs education program, including a week of programming during freshman year; discussion of the subject by students and faculty in the chapel program; and discussion of the science of addiction by the school counselor.  Of course, some students will still part-take -- there's a reason teenage boys make the best combat soldiers (and have the highest car insurance rates) they are often very impulse driven, not terribly cautious, and think they are made of Kevlar coated Teflon.

The school does its best but it also makes no pretense about the fact that it has a disciplinary code and drug use, particularly drug use on campus, is an extremely serious offense that may result in separation from the school.  Lots of successful folks got kicked out of a school or otherwise had a brush with discipline that turned them around -- it is not a death knell for future life goals to have to leave your beautiful private school in the shadow of a Cathedral.
