Richard Montgomery High School (RMHS) Principal Alicia Deeny sent the following message to the RMHS community on Wednesday, March 13:
“Dear Parents/Guardians:
I am writing to share an update on the message that I shared yesterday regarding swastikas drawn in two of our boys’ bathrooms. Today we discovered another instance of a swastika in a bathroom and also were able to identify the student who was the source of the graffiti. The student will be addressed in accordance with the MCPS Code of Conduct. We have also shared this information with the Rockville City Police Department and are following MCPS hate-bias protocols.
As I shared yesterday, our counseling department is available to meet with any students who may have concerns about this incident. We have also been in contact with the MCPS Restorative Justice Team to organize an opportunity for students who would like to come together to share their thoughts regarding this incident.
I am grateful to our administrators, security, and building services team for their speedy response to this incident. We will continue to support our students with any concerns they have about this situation.
Sincerely,
Alicia Deeny
Principal”
