A few years ago, while sitting in the back of an AP class, a male Ridgewood High School (RHS) junior discreetly rolled a blunt, then left class to smoke it.
Last year, students said, a female RHS sophomore secretly drank alcohol in school; another, they heard, tripped on acid.
In one incident this past summer, an 18-year-old resident with suspected alcohol poisoning was transported to The Valley Hospital, police said, and the 51-year-old owner of a nearby home – with red cups and beer cans strewn through the yard – was issued a summons on charges of making alcohol available to minors.

Is this the best story the Ridgewood News can produce at the end of the year?
Why bother ?……… It’s just junk reporting…………. nothing new here to share.
Hire more DPW workers. They will fix the drug problem in our school.
Go back decades you’ll see drug busts at rhs, retired captain Corcoran was quoted in the paper after a bust “we ( the cops ) are fishing in a well stocked pond” good information say’s he was called on the carpet for the statement. This is not news.
That would be Retired Chief Corcoran.
