Controversy
In September 2011, Narrows High School was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia (ACLU) for displaying a framed copy of the Ten Commandments. The ACLU argued that the display violated the separation of church and state. According to the Los Angeles Times, a settlement was reached that allowed the school to display a page of a history textbook with an image of the Ten Commandments with a subtitle that read:"The values found in the Bible, including the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus, inspired American ideas about government and morality."
On Wednesday, January 2, 2013, officials with the Giles County Public Schools, closed all five district campuses including Narrows High School when a website attempted to connect the community with The Dark Knight Rises and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The website RevelationNow.net had posted an article called, “The next school massacre target?" on December 18, just four days after the Sandy Hook shooting.
