PP, this is exactly what I'm worried about.  I know first hand from a couple of the families who had sons expelled for using drugs on the Close.  From what they said, they learned that their boys lower school coaches were aware of their son's drug problems and never said a word.  STA is not a physically large high school where a boy can easily get lost in the shuffle.  These particular boys didn't visit the school's counselor/psychiatrist during their time at STA and were quite successful in hiding their addiction from their parents.

Thanks for the additional information, everyone.  I wasn't aware of the freshmen year, week long, alcohol/drugs education program.  Hopefully, there are variations to this programming that are provided each year of upper school along with dialogue throughout the school year.

And no, I don't expect the school to run a drug-alcohol rehab program.  I do expect parents to be notified by school admin in the event that a coach or teacher has suspicions of substance abuse.  [/quote]
