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.[6] There are indications of failure on the part of local authorities to effectively address the bullying.[7] The story, and that of Bell's legacy, was made into a movie featuring Mark Wahlberg.
