History

In 2008, the school made national and international headlines after it was discovered that a 33-year-old mother of two named Wendy Anne Brown had disguised herself as her teenage daughter and enrolled as a sophomore, attending classes for one day and being admitted to the cheerleading program before being caught by the police and charged with identity theft. [4] [5] Diagnosed with bipolar II disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder and paranoid personality disorder, the court found her “not guilty by reason of mental disease.” [6] The story was later adapted into a 2019 Lifetime movie entitled Identity Theft of a Cheerleader , starring Maiara Walsh, Karis Cameron, Jesse Irving, Naika Toussaint, Chiara Guzzo, Matty Finochio, Bzhaun Rhoden, and Gail O'Grady. [7]

In 2017, the school again made national headlines after a parent who thought a student dressed as a stormtrooper from Star Wars for May the Fourth (Star Wars Day) was a threat to the school, resulting in an evacuation. A nearby middle school and community center were also placed on lockdown during the incident. [8]
