Broomstick incident In a 1997 incident, three baseball players pleaded guilty to
sodomizing a new teammate with a broom handle in the locker room after a game. The school district paid $675,000 to settle the claim and the three players were sentenced to time in
juvenile hall. The students stated there was a tradition of hazing in which older team members would threaten to
rape incoming freshmen players or would perform simulated rape.
Underwear incident In April 2002, one of the school's assistant principals forced female students at a school dance to lift their clothing and expose their
underwear, in search of
G-strings and thongs. The district said the reason for the check was to "ensure appropriate school dress." Rita Wilson, the assistant principal involved in this incident, was later
demoted to a teaching position.
Shooting threat On January 30, 2024, a student of the school was arrested after "showing concerning videos and making threatening statements against the school". The student's father was arrested after unregistered
destructive devices, and supplies for manufacturing
privately made firearms, were found at the family's home. ==Notable alumni==
