Controversy[]

In September 2015, the high school experienced a large number of parents and students protesting against the right of a pre-operation transgender student, Lila Perry, to use the girls' locker room and restrooms. Students of the High school started a walkout in support of banning Lily Perry from the girls' bathroom and locker room. Perry was offered a separate gender-neutral bathroom in response to her request. Many of the students that participated in the walkout did so simply to leave school.^[4]
