On March 22, 2017, following a series of controversial decisions by the school district, beginning with the school board not allowing a former coach attend his son's college signing, a large portion of the student body protested in both the bottom and upper floor of the high school. The plan for the protest started spreading that morning on social media, calling for students to meet at "Mrs. Sisco's classroom" to protest the school boards refusal to renew the teachers contract. At around 11:30 it was then discovered that the Drama teachers contract was also not renewed. At 1 o'clock during a passing period, students chanted "protest, protest" and "down with Downs" (a reference the schools principal). Students also proceeded to throw things at the principal from the second floor. 3 minutes later at 1:03 PM, a student pulled the fire alarm, causing the evacuation of the building. At 1:17 students were allowed back into the building and a student was arrested for pulling the alarm. By the end of the day, over 200 students signed a petition calling for the firing of the school principal, and over 600 people signed a petition advocating for the renewal of Mrs. Sisco's contract. The next day at 2:40 PM a smaller protest began and ended after facility told students to leave the building if they wanted to take part in the protest. [6] [ failed verification ]
