School violence

Red Lion Area School District has seen two serious acts of school violence in its history:

On February 2, 2001, former teacher William Michael Stankewicz committed a machete attack on a kindergarten class at North Hopewell – Winterstown Elementary School that wounded 11 children, the principal, and two teachers.[6]

On April 24, 2003, eighth-grade student James Sheets entered Red Lion Area Junior High School armed with his stepfather's pistols, and killed the school's principal, Dr. Eugene Segro, before killing himself.[7]


Incidents

Red Lion has had many tragic events plague its legacy.

The Car Crash: On February 1st, 2023, around 7:20PM, a student crashed into the Athletic Trainers room. When the police arrived on the scene, no injures had been sustained on the driver and there were no victims inside. While the accident had no effect in terms of day-to-day classes, many students speculated that the driver was under the influence of some form of psychedelics. This is not a surprise to many considering the school's history of rampant drug abuse, underage drinking, and vaping. [8] [9]

Sexual Misconduct of Mr. Keiser: Chad Keiser was found guilty in court after admitting to having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student. The student reported the incident in September of 2019, claiming the "relationship" took place in the early fall of 2006. Even though Mr. Keiser was quoted by an anonymous peer as "...a young, inexperienced teacher at the time.." he committed the crime in his car about 2 to 3 times. Mr. Keiser was sentenced to four years of probation and registered as a legal Sex Offender. [10] [11]
