Oregon teens shift alcohol, drugs off campusLast school year, most of the 550-plus Clackamas County, Oregon high schoolers cited for drinking or pot were away from school.
More than 550 students from nine Clackamas County, Oregon high schools were referred to the county's juvenile department for drug- and alcohol-related offenses during the 2002-03 school year, county officials said.
Most of those referrals involved crimes and violations that took place away from school, and more than half involved teens in possession of alcohol.
In all, 81 students were arrested at Oregon City, Clackamas, Rex Putnam, Milwaukie, Colton, Gladstone, Canby and Molalla high schools last year for drug-related offenses, according to statistics kept by local Oregon police departments. No students were arrested at Estacada High, according to the sheriff's office.
Clackamas and Oregon City high schools had more students arrested than other schools in the county, according to statistics from the Oregon City Police Department and the Clackamas County, Oregon Sheriff's Office.
Teen drug and alcohol use has leveled off in recent years, after reaching epidemic proportions in the mid-1980s, drug counselors said. Clackamas County, Oregon high school administrators, counselors and police say they've noticed a drop in drug use at school among teens -- a sign, they say, that get-tough discipline policies resulting in immediate suspension, and even expulsion, are working.
Still, Oregon police and students say, the referrals to juvenile authorities and school arrests offer only a glimpse into widespread substance abuse among high school students. Nationally, 49 percent of high school seniors reported using marijuana at least once in 2001, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
"Marijuana," said 16-year-old Milwaukie High student A.J. Gordian, "is just a phone call away for everyone."
What's changed in recent years, students and school officials said, is where teens use drugs and alcohol. More often than not, they drink and smoke after school and on weekends to avoid getting caught by authorities.
Better at concealing drugs Shirley Musser, campus monitor at Oregon City High School, said she worries about drug use among students. Last week, three Oregon City High students were caught smoking marijuana in the woods just beyond the parking lot, and earlier in the year, a student was caught with someone else's prescription pills.
Finding out who's using drugs is difficult, especially because the school no longer has an Oregon City, Oregon police officer patrolling the hallways.
"The kids know we're looking for it," Musser said. "They are getting better at hiding it."
That is one reason sheriff's Deputy Randy Oxford would like to have a drug-sniffing dog sweep through the parking lot at Clackamas High, where he is the school resource officer.
He said well-publicized discipline policies may have kept students from bringing drugs into the building, but that doesn't mean teens aren't stashing contraband in their cars.
"Kids are just getting smarter," he said. "If we had the availability of a drug dog to go through the parking lot and even through the hallways and the lockers, we may be . . . able to be even more proactive than we are."
Although marijuana and alcohol are the most common drugs among teenagers, Oxford and students say cocaine is gaining in popularity, particularly at Clackamas High.
"We definitely have a cocaine problem at the school," Oxford said.
He said he's also seen methamphetamine, and last year had one incident involving heroin.
Oxford said Clackamas High has a "significant" drug problem, though having a police officer in the building has made a dent in the number of arrests.
Five years ago, during Oxford's first year in the school, he arrested 84 students for drug-related offenses. Last year, 20 students were arrested.
Cocaine's popularity According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the number of high school students experimenting with cocaine increased from 1994 through 1999, the most recent year for which data was collected. According to the study, nearly 10 percent of 12th-graders used cocaine in 1999.
Locally, high school students say their classmates are experimenting with the highly addictive drug, though its popularity continues to be eclipsed by marijuana and alcohol. Last year, according to North Clackamas school officials, one student was expelled for cocaine possession.
Shannon Clark, 17, a Rex Putnam student, said some girls think cocaine will make them skinny. She said the drug carries a cachet that marijuana does not.
"I think every person feels deep down that if you've done coke that, not like you're special, but you've done something different," said Clark, who is helping to produce a student broadcast on the popularity of cocaine among her classmates. The production is scheduled to air next week on the North Clackamas School District's cable access channel.
Trae DeWeese, 17, a Clackamas student, said he overheard students talking about cocaine use during lunch recently.
"Every single one of them had done cocaine, was doing cocaine or wanted to try it," said DeWeese, who is working on the student news production.
At Clackamas High, which last year lost its drug and alcohol counselor because of budget cuts, Oxford said he often refers students to outside help for drug problems. He said his priority is enforcing the law, but he also tries to get students help when they need it.
"My biggest concern is the use of it because you know by their choice of using (that) their grades are falling, attendance falls, they get in with the wrong crowd, and they find themselves getting into trouble with the police," he said.
