New Albany police investigating racist vandalism at high school

Students and staff of New Albany High School arrived on Monday morning to find three school tennis courts and an equipment shed scrawled with spray-painted swastikas and profane and racist language.

The school district has cleaned up the vandalism, and New Albany police are investigating.

This discovery was made on the first morning of Peace Week, an annual event at New Albany High School to stand “against violence, embrace community, and effect positive change in the world.” Events emphasize acceptance and diversity.

Principal Dwight Carter sent out an email to parents and staff members, encouraging anyone with information about the vandalism to take it to the New Albany Police Department or to a school administrator.
