At least 10 students have overdosed since the beginning of March and fentanyl is suspected in many of those cases.
The opioid epidemic has ripped through Anchorage high schools this spring. At least 10 students have overdosed since the beginning of March and fentanyl is suspected in many of those cases, according to the district. District spokesperson Lisa Miller said none of the 10 cases were fatal — including five that happened in a single day — and that they occurred in five of the district’s eight high schools.
West High Principal Ja Dorris said it’s important to get the message out now with the end of the school year fast approaching. West was one of the first schools to hold an assembly Tuesday where community members talked about losing their children to fentanyl poisoning. Students also watched an emotional film calledwhere parents spoke about their loss. Miller said similar events are planned at other Anchorage high schools and middle schools, although the movie will likely be shown only to high school students.
