Framingham High To Discipline Athletes Due To Party With Alcohol

Framingham High Principal Elyse Torbert plans to discipline several athletes at Framingham High School for drinking or being in possession of alcohol or at a party with alcohol, all violations of the state’s athletic association.

Framingham High administration received information and video footage of Framingham High students attending a party at an outside location, explained Torbert.

“This party was thrown without the permission of the owners. Many students in attendance, including several student athletes, can be seen on video drinking or in possession of alcoholic beverages. These students’ actions are not representative of Framingham High School’s core values and are a violation of the MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association) policy on substance use,” said Torbert.

“As a result, athletes will be subjected to the appropriate consequences as stated in MIAA policy,” said Torbert.

“This may include non-participation from athletes for 25 percent of their respective sports season,” said Torbert, who plans to send notification of the incident to parents later today.

“This is an opportunity for families and us as a school community to remind our children of their responsibilities in regards to their safety,” said Tobert.
