NEEDHAM, Mass. (WHDH) — School officials at Needham High School are investigating after racist graffiti was found at the school for the second time in the past month.
The school’s principal, Aaron Sicotte, sent a letter to parents regarding the issue saying that both times, the graffiti used a racist slur. In the more recent incident, the N-word was found written on the wall in the boys bathroom.
“Our first priority as educators is to create a safe place for learning,” Sicotte said in the letter. “When racist slurs are written on our walls, we are not a safe place. This is unacceptable.”
The principal also said the two incidents appear to be different handwriting, so administrators believe the two incidents are separate cases.
