[edit] 2008 Bomb Scare
On May 6, 2008, a message was found on a wall in one of the girl's bathrooms in the school that read, "Everybody is going to die on May 9 at 12:12." On the same day, faculty called up local police squads, and the situation was announced to the students the next morning. On May 9, the school was filled with police squads and bomb-sniffing dogs. Every student needed to be smelled by the dogs to get into class, and no student was allowed to have a backpack at any time during the day.
