Controversy

In honor of Black History Month, the school approved of a controversial poster for its doors, with one side of the door displaying "white entrance" and "colored entrance" on the other. An image of one of the doors spread on social media, to which the school responded that the decoration was incomplete and taken out of context. School superintendent Mimi Webb said "it shows how far we have come in society while acknowledging that we need to do more as a society". Despite the school's defense of the decoration, the controversial signs were removed from the poster.[3][4]
