Test at ECHHS Dance To Discourage Drinking
By Leyna Peery | February 16Before students at East Chapel Hill High School enter tonight's Valentine's Day dance, they will have to pass a test that has nothing to do with academics.School officials have decided to make each student entering the dance take a breathalyzer test to ensure they have not consumed any alcohol before arriving.The new policy stems from an incident at the school's prom two years ago when 20 to 30 students arrived drunk in vans with hired drivers. As punishment, these students were not allowed to attend the prom and were suspended from school for five days.
