Softball hazing incident

In 2016, eight students on Cienega High School's softball team were suspended after attempting to haze new varsity members at an away game. They purportedly filled a trash can with ice, water, and urine as the team was staying at a motel in February 2016 and placed it near a door with the expectation that it would drench the new members. Once the incident was reported, the principal at the time suspended the four students who were directly involved for five days and the other four for two days for being aware of the prank but not reporting it. He was quoted as saying, "We will not tolerate pranks. We will not tolerate bullying. We will not tolerate hazing or any kind of harassment." [5]

Sexual misconduct

In 2018, Senecca Turner, an assistant basketball coach and member of the security staff at the high school, was arrested on suspicion of sexual misconduct with a teen. School officials had been informed that Turner has been sending explicit messages to a 17-year-old female student. [6] He was sentenced the following year to serve 10 years probation, 12 weekends in the Pima County Jail, one thousand hours of community service, and must register as a sex offender. [7]
