TOOELE, Utah — Deseret Peak High School in Tooele was placed on secure hold protocols Tuesday after cocaine was found inside one of the girls' bathrooms at the school.

Twenty students were potentially exposed to the drugs and have been evaluated by medical personnel. Two staff members and one student showed symptoms in reaction to the cocaine and were treated at the scene.
Students and staff were released from the school at 11:30 a.m., about two hours earlier than their normal release time.
