    A recent survey shows low instances of drug and alcohol use in Grundy County high schools.
    The survey, filled out anonymously by 130 youth at BCLUW, Dike-New Hartford, Gladbrook-Reinbeck and Grundy Center High Schools, showed rates well below the national average among the percentage of students who have tried or used tobacco products and alcohol.
    Grundy County Public Health Team Lead Katie Thornton-Lang, who conducted the survey, said she found the difference in percentage of students who reported having used alcohol and tobacco interesting.
    “There was something there that stood out to me,” he said.
