Accomplishments

Controversy

The school attracted national attention in 2022 for what was seen as an antisemitic incident. The school responded by making plans to adopt a diversity program by the Anti-Defamation League, but dropped it after complaints that the diversity program focused too heavily on race and gender. A Jewish student was reprimanded by the school for posting an out-off-context video of a teacher inviting his class give a Roman Salute, which is known in modern times as the Nazi salute during a lesson on how symbols can change over time, in this instance, from a basic salute to a symbol of hate. The teacher did not force the students to do the salute, and the lesson was subsequientially taken out of context and exaggerated, resulting in the incident being blown up in various sources.[18]
