In 2008, the school was surrounded by controversy when a group of twenty-two students in an AP Language and Composition class formed a cheating ring by stealing copies of tests and distributing them through e-mail. Students coined the scandal "Operation Bonzai" as a reference to one of leading members of the ring. As a result of the scandal, several students received referrals and all students previously part of the National Honors Society were dismissed. |
