Anti-gay controversy
In March 2012, principal Dorothy Bond received scrutiny for reportedly telling gay students that they would go hell, threatening them with 60-day suspensions for public displays of affection, and other verbal attacks on gay and pregnant students. As a result of the attention that this remark engendered, Bond resigned on March 1, 2012.
