Controversies

Racism

The school had sent out an email stating that, "this will not be a one and done discussion". After the email was sent out, multiple stories came out about how they have had similar experiences in the school in years past.

Chromebook fire 
In 2017, an 8th grade student twisted the camera on their school-issued chromebook, leading to wires tangling and a small electrical fire. The school recalled all student chromebooks, replacing them with a model that did not allow for the camera to be twisted.
