Fountain Hills High School has a year round athletic code that currently applies only to high school student body school officers and student-athletes. It became very apparent when I arrived that the enforcement code was being ignored to a large extent due to a lack of communication between the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and our high school leadership team. Working with MCSO and our attorneys, we were able to come to a shared belief that the names of students receiving "minors in possession" or "minors in consumption" could be shared to protect the integrity of the school code and help mitigate dangerous teen behaviors.
We now have a deterrent and protocol that has cost some student-athletes and school leaders playing time (first offense - 1/3 of sports season) or loss of thier school office.
