Many students took notice of the boot new Principal Amy Boone had donned recently. It’s no doubt a concerning sight for students to see their principal in a weakened state.
She was using crutches to navigate the school, and this continued for an unusual amount of time. But, this injury was not caused by some sort of off-the-cuff adult sports league, this was the aftermath of an evidently common principal initiation process.
This hazing procedure is incredibly rigorous as described by a former principal who wishes to remain anonymous.
“It’s tough,” they said. “They make you wear all of the new student ID’s and run every staircase in the Fieldhouse, … and that’s just the beginning of it.”
The only ones involved in the hazing are preexisting administration staff. They sit by and are even allowed to offer up new ideas for tortuous activities that the victim must undergo. These staffers don’t have a single bit of remorse for this activity.
Assistant Principal Josef Horvath dismisses Boone’s condition, saying “she’ll be fine.”
This initiation process has been going on for years. Hazing has been banned even in the most barbaric institutions, such as the Army and the Girl Scouts. So, for the practice to be in place at an established school like SHS is utterly unacceptable and must be stopped.
Boone may recover from her injuries, but her recent trauma will undoubtedly stay with her for years to come.
