"Our region is battling a drug epidemic and our community is not immune." Mike Von Gunten, Superintendent of Firelands Local Schools.
At FLSD, we are working together to create a community of lifelong learners that will function as responsible, self-sufficient citizens of a global society. Many factors influence the path that students will take. With the health of our students and community in mind, we will continue to share information that will support this effort.
Our BOE approved a random drug testing policy for students in grades 9-12 that participate in athletics or having driving/parking privileges at Firelands High School. The intent of the policy is not to punitive, but rather to identify an issue early and assist the student and their family in any possible way. A link to our drug testing policy is
available here.
It is our hope that the information on this page will assist you and your family in your search for solutions. Please feel free to contact our school counselors for additional support. Their information can be found under the Student Resource Section, on the right.
