Controversies

Broomstick incident

In a 1997 incident, three baseball players pleaded guilty to sodomizing a new teammate with a broom handle in the locker room after a game. The school district paid $675,000 to settle the claim and the three players were sentenced to time in juvenile hall. The students stated there was a tradition of hazing in which older team members would threaten to rape incoming freshmen players or would perform simulated rape.^[9]

Underwear incident

In April 2002, one of the school's assistant principals forced female students at a school dance to lift their clothing and expose their underwear, in search of G-strings and thongs. The district said the reason for the check was to "ensure appropriate school dress."^[10] Rita Wilson, the assistant principal involved in this incident, was later demoted to a teaching position.^[11]

Shooting threat

On January 30, 2024, a student of the school was arrested after "showing concerning videos and making threatening statements against the school". The student's father was arrested after unregistered destructive devices, and supplies for manufacturing privately made firearms were found at the family's home.^[12]
