Overview
- Photos posted on X by journalist Brandi Kruse on Friday showed a Graham-Kapowsin High School Pride display that appeared to include glass vials labeled as testosterone.
- Bethel School District officials said they removed the unauthorized vials and identified the individuals who placed them in the display.
- The district reported that some vials still contained a small amount of unknown liquid and that the labels read Testosterone Cypionate, a Schedule III medication used in hormone therapy.
- Pierce County Sheriff’s Office investigators have identified a student as a person of interest and detectives seized the vials for forensic and ownership checks.
- The district is reviewing rules for displays in shared school spaces and the episode has drawn intense online attention that could prompt tighter oversight and clearer approval procedures.
