An alumnus of the school disrupted the graduation ceremony held at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in 2008, running across the stage dressed in a costume modeled on male genitalia.[3]
In 2024, media reported on track coaches Art and Linda Kranick who had purportedly abused their authority over the course of over 35 years. They allegedly denied student athletes a day off, attempted to influence runners’ diets, weekend schedules, vitamin supplements, and orthotic shoe inserts.[4]
