Students
Jadin Bell, a 15-year-old student and member of the school's cheerleading squad, committed suicide in early 2013 after a period of intense bullying by other students. There are indications of failure on the part of local authorities to effectively address the bullying. The story, and that of Bell's legacy, was made into a movie featuring Mark Wahlberg.
