[edit] Drug testing
In 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit supported a school policy that required students in all extracurricular activities to participate in random drug tests. That was the first time a federal appels court upheld such a policy for students other than athletes.[2] The ruling was challenged by the ACLU, but the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal.[3]

The school mascot is the Lion and the school colors are Black and Red.
