A note from Mr. Fred Muehleman, Principal, on Steroid Use
Dear Parents,
We are faced with many daily reminders of the use and abuse of steroids, and other performance enhancing drugs. There is no lack of information concerning the long and short term negative effects of such drugs. Most everyone agrees that steroid use is a dangerous way to "reach and exceed your potential", and one to be avoided completely. The question is, who will monitor their potential use by young student-athletes? A recent Daily Herald article pointed out that this monitoring is the rightful responsibility of parents. Parents are the fist line of defense against any use of legal or illegal supplements, including alcohol and nicotine. We agree. But we here at Driscoll Catholic can help you keep your children free of harmful drugs. We have the following programs in place for the coming school year. and are investigating more opportunities to communicate the ill effects of steroid use:
- Expanded drug awareness sessions in both Science and Health classes
- Professional speakers specifically for the athletic programs
- Professional speakers for all school assemblies
- Inter-Quest Detection Canines-random drug/alcohol inspections
- SADD/Spectrum programs designed to communicate the dangerous effects of performance enhancing chemicals.
Please refer to page 28 of the Student/Parent Handbook for specific rules concerning use and possession of ANY nutritional supplements in school and on school property. The possession and use of nutritional supplements and steroids is strictly prohibited. Students who violate this policy will be suspended pending disciplinary review and their supplements will be permanently confiscated and disposed of .
There are many pressures on today's young people to succeed. The use of steroids and supplements should not be included with the normal, everyday pressures of growing up. If we work together, we can help our children reach their potential the "natural way".
