Incidents

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. 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.” 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.
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 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.
