. During the 2022-2023 school year Roland-Story High School received criticism for its handling of a sexual assault case, an alleged hazing incident, involving two students, one of whom was a member of the wrestling team. The high school received back-lash for not taking swift enough action against the perpetrator by letting him continue to wrestle. However, after backlash the perpetrator was removed from extracurricular activities for the remainder of the school year. The perpetrator was originally charged as an adult but later took a plea deal which resulted in him being placed in juvenile court. During a school board meeting it was noted that the assault is an example of “toxic bullying culture” at the school “that has been going on for years”.
