Great
Mills High Naval ROTC Marches
While Heathen Are Jail Bound
 
Did they go to school
for a gang brawl in the cafeteria?
This kid at left, with either
a mother or a school official t his left, gets an escort
from St. Mary's Sheriff's SDFC. Randall Wood after the big fight at Great Mills. At right, the youth
in the fashionable pink shirt, expensive shoes and
braids is escorted by Dfc. Michael Worrey to a waiting police cruiser. The heathen in the white tee shirt at rear is
also brought out of the front door of Great Mills High
School under arrest by Dep. Michael George. At least 6 heathens were
taken off to jail by police. Shaquetta Nelson, age
18, and 13 heathen juveniles were arrested. Nelson
went to jail pending an appearance before a district
court commissioner.

While
the Heathens are Marched off to Jail, the Saints Go
Marching On! At the front door
of Great Mills High School are punks and bums who
disrupted the school so badly that two dozen police
officers were needed to quell the riot while at the rear
of the school other students who work hard at learning
participate in the Young Marines or ROTC and learn to
march. These motivated students also make up the great
majority of Great Mills students, do homework and learn.
But the schools must keep bums in the school system and
due to the lawmakers in Annapolis have to provide them
an education instead of expelling them. The students who
try to learn, stay out of trouble and behave will likely
have a good future and their tax dollars will go to
supporting the heathens who fight and rampage.
Where buses would line up, instead a posse of deputies
rolled in their police cars and responded to break up
the rioting idiots at Great Mills High School.

GREAT
MILLS (Nov. 5, 2007) --- It' s Monday morning at
the local high school fights where the hell-raising kids
who are in school to show off their latest fashions, bad
manners and lack of any particular amount of brain cells
compete with each other in the hair-pulling and kicking
trials which will lead to their ability to make it all
the way to the Big House, if the rest of us are lucky.
The St. Mary's Sheriff's Department dispatched a team of
deputies to round up these heathens and cart them off to
Leonardtown where their parents will quickly regain
custody.

GREAT MILLS
(Nov. 5, 2007) ---St. Mary's Sheriff's Patrol Division
Commander reports that on
November 5, 2007 Senior Deputy First Class A. Holton,
assigned to Great Mill’s High School as a High School
Resource Officer, was notified of a fight involving two
juveniles in the hallway. As a result of this fight,
several other fights were initiated by other students in
other areas of the school. Additional officers
responded to the school and were able to bring the
situation under control. As a result of the various
fights thirteen juveniles and one adult was arrested.
All are students at Great Mill’s High School and have
been charged with various charges and released to a
parent/guardian The adult student, Shaquetta Nelson,
age 18, was charged with Disruption of School Activities
and incarcerated in the Detention Center pending a
hearing before the District Court Commissioner. It is
unclear at this time as to what precipitated the fights
and an investigation is continuing by Sdfc. Holton.

FEEDBACK:
If Wildewood
were part of Great Mills district, things would change
Gee, I wonder where the great superintendent Mrs. Clump (Dr.
Clump's mother) is? Hercules, Hercules, Hercules. Oh
that's right he's too busy raising money for cancer.
Everything is just fabulous, fabulous Sherman. The staff
is doing a fabulous job. I wonder if Superintendent
Clump's children are in the STEM programs located at
GMHS, LPES and SRMS. That may be an interesting question
to ask him. Oh don't worry Kathleen Tiger is all over
this. They take this kind of thing very seriously. And
if you don't believe it just wait until the next time it
happens and she'll tell you again.
As long as they can keep all the trouble makers at GMHS
etc they are happy. You'll never see them re-district
good areas to GM. You don\'t see Superintendent Clump\'s
kids at GM do you? If the school is so safe why doesn't
he send his kids there? And just like the great
politicians you'll never get a straight answer. If you
ask them about punishment comparisons they will say they
can\'t talk about other cases. I.E. the basketball brawl
last year where not one student was suspended from
school. Of course not, they had to win SMAC.
I wonder where John Bohanan's kids go? Oh yea, LHS. They
were in the GM school district but quickly left before
the kids hit HS. I have an idea. Let\'s re-district
Wildewood to GMHS. Preposterous. But I bet GM would
change quickly then. Things will get worse before they
get better at the LP area schools. Something really bad
will have to happen first. Then we can watch all the
school board members and Superintendent Clump act
shocked as if they didn't see it coming. But not to
worry, Kathleen Tiger will be there to reiterate she
takes this thing very seriously. That\'s all until the
next incident which I'll be told was blown out of
proportion.

If
your
child is a heathen, the term must fit
I wanted to make it
known that one of these "heathens" robbed my home 6
months ago and is currently on probation and
electronic monitoring. I don't believe that kind of
individual is described as "a good kid" per the
Reader Feedback. So those of you who are offended
by the term "HEATHENS", take a good look at your
child - does he / she fit the description? If it
offends you - it must fit! My STUDENT also attends
GMHS, and it didn't offend me!

READER FEEDBACK
Heathen - a person who does not acknowledge your
god
This term used throughout this blatantly biased
article refers to someone who doesn't believe in
your religion. The people in the reader's
feedback section who are offended by that term
shouldn't be, if someone is a heathen because
they choose to fight in school then I personally
think the reporter of this article should go
back to school.
Those of you who have ideas of how to make Great
Mills a better school should stop talking about
it because you have no idea what you are talking
about. You aren't students there and if you ever
were it has gotten immensely better over time.
It is a great school, and i should know, I am a
student at Great Mills high School.
You think that all other schools are better? How
about the building service workers at LHS who
were found smoking marijuana a few years ago,or
the bomb threats they have. I'm not saying LHS
is a bad school, I'm saying that no school is
perfect, and regardless of what you say or
do, misbehavior is inevitable.
Those of you parents who were offended by this
article should consider the source, a pathetic,
biased news site. I would suggest not giving it
a second read and read a real news paper.
Please post this, it is important to show we
respond to criticism.
Cory Lane Parks, a proud student of GMHS.
READER FEEDBACK
Great Mills is a Great School
You know, if you are going to write an
article trashing someone or a group of
people, you could at least get your facts
straight. The fight that happened at GMHS
took place in the halls during class, not in
the cafeteria. You also make it sound like
if you aren't a student participating in the
NJROTC program, then you aren't good for
anything and all you want to do is get in a
fight and go to jail.
As a student here at GMHS, I for one would
like to say that GMHS is not as bad as
everyone likes to think. I'm not saying that
it is perfect. Sure, terrible things happen,
but terrible things happen at the other
schools in the county too. Almost every
article that I read about my school seems to
make it seem like a bad school. If there is
a fight, we get a large article on the front
page complete with pictures. If we win a
sports event, the article makes it sound
like we cheated or we only won because a
player on the other team was hurt; Said
article is usually a small article in the
back too. But if LHS wins, they get a good
sized article where everyone can see it and
if something terrible happens there, then
they only have a small article in the back
about it.
The article also states that if you get
into a fight at school, then you are a punk,
bum, heathen and/or stupid ("lack of any
particular amount of brain cells" according
to you.) Some people make bad choices and
end up in a fight. That does not mean that
they are a bum. Everyone makes some kind of
bad choice in their life, whether it be a
huge choice that affects all or a minor
choice that only affects a few people.
In conclusion to my long (and probably
annoying) email, I would like to say that I
think GMHS is a great school. Every student
here has the same chance to learn, but it is
their own choices that affect how that
learning is achieved. Sure, almost every
teacher I have had since I first set foot in
this school has been insane, but they all
gave me, as well as all my classmates, a
great learning experience. Almost everyone I
know here would say the same, as well as
that they wouldn't change schools if they
had the chance and that they have fun here
which is important too.
Sarah D. Spencer, proud Junior at GMHS
(Editor's Note: Sarah, you do your
teachers proud with your letter. You also
prove the point that serious learning can
take place at Great Mills High but it would
be easier on the faculty and the staff, and
you, with the 5 % criminal heathens removed
from the school. Students are students and
hell-raising punks are heathens. The
difference between the two is defined by
their actions. Students study, punks
fight. The NJROTC students were a visible
example at the time of the riot of students
behaving.)
READER FEEDBACK
Don't
Peg Us as Bad Students Because of Riot
I am a sophomore student at Great Mills High
School. This article was brought to my
attention while I was in my 4th period
reading class. I wasn't really impressed
with your article because not only did you
attack the school as a whole, the only
people you showed real praise for were the
ROTC students, while you called the rest of
us "heathens" with no real future.
I don't really appreciate it. Though I'm not
in ROTC, I'm not some heathen that's going
to jail. I'm working my hardest in my
classes, I'm maintaining a good 2.5 average.
I'm working my hardest to show that Great
Mills does have good students and that it
doesn't deserve all of this negative
publicity, while not having any
positive publicity. If you look at our test
scores, we have some of the best in the
State. Did we get any publicity for that? Of
course not.
We, as students and staff, are trying our
hardest to build up our reputation in to
something better than it has been in the
past few decades. It's not right that one
incident should automatically get us called
the "worst school in the state", while other
schools have gone through worse and their
reputation has gone down only slightly.
Take, for example, Leonardtown. I'm not
saying it's a bad school, but they've gone
through constant bomb threats and several
lockdowns, most of which have kept the
students in school after school hours were
over. Their reputation, though not by much,
is said to be better than Great Mills, when
really, it should be worse, considering the
history of bomb threats, gun threats,
illegal drugs on canvas, et cetera.
In conclusion, don't peg us as bad students
just because we don't wear shiny stiff
uniforms every Thursday. We are not bad
students. We're working to prove that to
you.
Christina Manly
PROUD Student of Great Mills High School
(Editor's note: Again, your teachers should
be proud of another student at this school
for your ability to express yourself.
However, you should go back and read our
photo caption as it stated that the NJROTC
students were a visible (outside of the
school building) example of the "great
majority" of students who behave, study and
help make the school one to be proud of even
though the punks and heathens posture, fight
and disrupt the mission of the school, which
is to help you get good grades, better test
scores and become productive members of
society. The heathens will either get
smart, get an education, get jobs or go to
prison. The prisons are built and
waiting for them.)

Playing the Race Card
I commend the student from GMHS for
explaining the meaning HEATHEN.
Unfortunately the parents leaving
feedback don't know the difference.To Denise Lane, do you really know who robbed your house, or are you just
speculating. You made sure you didn't use
any names, but don't worry it's noted what
type of person you are a "HEATHEN": a person
who does not acknowledge god, you want to
see others in trouble, or should I say black
people or what you call them at home
"niggers". I think you have nothing to do
except sell t-shirts that shrink to toddler
size after one wash.
Get a life, or better yet stop
running your sons, then maybe he won't pull
the wool over yours so much.

Football Coach Says It Was Staff and
Students Who Stopped Riot
As a staff member at Great Mills
High School, I had mixed emotions as
to whether to respond or not. But
after receiving this article from a
friend, I just had to. With the
understanding that your methods of
reporting the news are solely for
the amusement of readers and not
really a viable news source, I can
say that all schools have their
issues to contend with and no school
is perfect. Issues can arise in any
environment: family, government,
church, and schools of course. What
people do not see often are the good
things, because scandal and deceit
sell newspapers and most negative
incidents can cloud the
positive. The positives of Great
Mills High School are numerous such
as high academic standards, rigorous
courses, great and thoughtful
teachers and administrative staff,
motivated students, parents,
coaches and our wonderful athletes
who sacrifice so much of their time.
The ways the teachers/staff,
community resources, and students
bonded together to quell these
incidents and to restore order was
indicative of what Great Mills High
School can be if others let it.
Thank you for hearing me out and no
I am not running for political
office.
Derek Sabedra, Football Coach
(Editor's Note: It was the arrival
of two dozen police officers who
made 14 arrests that quelled "these
incidents", which was nothing but a
riot.. Its all about accountability
and in the new age of education,
self esteem of bullies and punks
counts more than behavior. It
is too bad that you are not a mature
enough of an educator to admit that
if the heathens are removed from
your school then it could really be
the excellent facility that it has
the potential to become. The
staff of this school should wake up
and demand that the punks be
expelled so the staff can do their
jobs of teaching the willing
students, who make up 95 percent of
the school. Its time to tell the
truth about hooligans and the harm
they do to public education. Why do
you think parents pay taxes to
support the public schools and then
dig into their pockets to pay huge
sums for private tuition at
Calverton, Ryken and the Kings
Christian Academy?)
READER FEEDBACK
A friend of the heathens runs to
race card
As a senior at Great Mills High, i
would like to say that this is a
safe and structured school. I don't
believe that your choice of words
truthfully describe the so-called
"heathens". I happen to be friends
with some of those heathens, so do
that make me one? no. I am an
officer in the NJROTC unit, a honor
roll student, and a scholar athlete.
For many of those students this was
their first time getting in trouble
at school or at all. So before you
judge them on this one incident,
think what was really going on?
Obviously you don't know what was
really going on! I'm not saying what
they did was right but it was a
result of a number of different
factors. So i believe that these
students don't deserve the maximum
punishment, but they do deserve to
continue their education, since many
were seniors. Hey what would you
call the Caucasian kids that often
disrupt the school with their dumb
pranks, dangerous stunts, and foul
behavior? bet you wont speak about
that. I think that the boy who
urinated in a bottle and gave it to
a girl to drink should have got the
maximum, that was also the same boy
who threw books and others things
around a classroom, well this was
also the kid that stole numerous
things from a teacher. Well if you
ask me he's a heathen, did he ever
get expelled no! is he still in
school yes!
I would honestly like to know,
why it is that you call
these students heathens, but on your
website you have a grown white man
that robbed three young men, and not
once was the words heathen, bum, or
punk mentioned? I think it
is a matter of race. As an adult and
editor you should expand your
vocabulary, calling "children"
names, is very juvenile. I am a
senior at Great Mills, and I would
like to say that this situation
was completely exaggerated, there
was no riot, and no one was hurt. I
am annoyed by your negativity and
limited vocabulary. This incident
was wrong and unjustifiable, but
what you are doing is the same.
These were good students all
of whom never been in trouble for
fighting or being disruptive before,
some are even honor students; a fact
that fails to come to your
attention. These students
are not bums, heathens, or punks;
they are students who let the moment
take them out of character.
Furthermore, who made you an expert
on the students of GMHS? You do not
attend, work, or patrol our school.
So, you are not a reliable source of
information on this matter. Please
stop disrespecting and down playing
the students who know about the
situation and character of these
students. ALSO STOP DENYING
YOUR BLATANT BIGOTRY
Joleesa Nelson
(Editor's Note: No, you are
not guilty for what your friends do,
but their actions may help you
decide if you want to continue to
associate with such heathens.
This was not a matter of race and
for people to immediately rush to
race only does a disservice to us
all. This was a matter of behavior
and the police locked up the
hell-raisers, we do not have any
listing of what the racial breakdown
was for those arrested. Punks
who disrupt schools need to be
expelled and not allowed back on
school grounds. How many chances
should they be given? The
school system has a policy and it
will be applied in this case,
according to Dr. Raspa, the School
Board Chairman.)

Teen Boot Camp the Answer?
The first thought of a normal reader
would be to say yes, kick them out
and let the others who wish to be
there learn. But we truly know that
is not the answer, the answer is in
discipline, confidence, character,
etc. and God knows, we are letting
them fail. It is as much our fault
as it is the kid’s. We have failed
them in providing the discipline and
confidence they need. And yes I
helped raise a young lady from 1 ½
years old, up to about 12 or 13. I
disciplined her verbally, and never
needed to resort to physical. When
asked by her Mother to back off; I
did, and that was the end of all I
could do. Now she curses and screams
at her Mother like a drunken sailor,
throws tantrums, and destroys
property very much like what is
described in the article. Because of
it we have separated and have no
plans of re-joining, my fault for
lack of any further tolerance and
patients? Maybe we should no longer
say “back when I was a kid”, that is
way too out-dated; and it is not and
shall not ever again be that way.
Times have changed; and it seems to
be more about survival in school
these days than advancing. I still
say the fault is ours, it should not
be up to the Police to haul the
kid’s away, however it is a
deterrent. But they will soon lose
fear of it and we will be right back
here. Maybe a teen boot camp style
training facility, just short of
juvenile, perhaps, I leave that up
to you other readers. I think the
true answer lays in the home, with
the parents getting them involved in
more community activities, some
exposure to similar families, with
similar working problems, lack of
time, etc. etc. It lays in politics,
someone gets in there and we have to
work two and three jobs to stay
afloat, because of their taxes and
misappropriations, how is anyone
making it by these days. Local
realtors are price gouging homes way
out of reach, and if you’re lucky
enough to be approved, you don’t
read the fine print, and see it was
a tickling mortgage and your out on
the street in 1 to 2 years. So now
we’re still here with not enough
time for our kid’s. I leave it up to
the professionals for now, and see
where that leads, I simply believe
it is a community problem now, and
it will take all of us together to
solve it. When is the last time you
visited your child’s school?MICHAEL

Being Black an Excuse to Fight in
School; Condemning Violence in
School is Racist
I am a junior at great mills
high school and I think this
article is a bunch of B.S. How
can you sit up there and judge
people you don't even know. Just
because one little thing happens
you come out your mouth and say
all this B.S about them. And
please do me a favor and stop
trying to sugar coat this you
know you are talking about black
people and you are referring to
the white people as the ones who
will be wasting their tax
dollars on us (black people).
For all we know you and your
child could be a "heathen." And
for your information a lot of
those kids who got arrested are
good kids and they are trying to
do something with their life and
for you to say they should be
put out of school that's just
not right. Did you ever think
for a second that some of them
got hit first and they fought
back or that they saw their
friend getting jumped and they
decided to help? NO because you
were to quick to judge them. And
what if your child got arrested
for fighting would you call
him/her a "heathen?" NO. So you
know what you can do with this
article take it and shove it
cause it's all BS.

And not once in my letter
did i say being black was an

heathens, idots, punks and
what ever else you call us
but im not going to sit here

all(whites) can't control us

perfectly clear ROTC is not
majority of our school.

(Editor's Note: Ignorance is as
Ignorance does. Great Mills High
will have to maintain control

requirements and the
expectations of the taxpayers,

has no color. For the record, an
examination of the news photo of
the good students who continued
with their program and were
marching at the rear of the
school while while the bozos
were being taken off to jail at
the front of the school show
that the good kids were mostly
black. Fighting in school is a
choice, and like the decision to
study and turn in homework, has
repercussions.)
READER FEEDBACK
Condemning Violence is Uncalled
For and Made People UpsetI would like to say that your
article and comments where very
uncalled for and made many
people upset. I will tell you
that every high school has its
good and bad things about it,
which I'm surprised that
you don't know that. Great Mills
is not a bad school and not all
the kids there are as you say
"heathens". Even though I have
not been going there for a long
time, I know that there are many
good kids going there. And just
saying that the ROTC kids are
the only "good" kids at the
school is almost an insult. I
have a few friends on ROTC and
let me tell you they are not the
best students that I have seen.
Some skip class, and disrespect
others, even teachers. So for
you to just label them as the
only good students is not
correct. I think that before you
went and put your comments and
your incorrect articles on the
website, you should have looked
up your facts. I mean, schools
everywhere have been having
riots or fights since the
beginning of time. And no matter
what school or what state your
in, all schools will have these
problems or even worse. Maybe
you need to go back to school,
because it sounds like you
forgot what goes on in high
schools. Jasmine King (Editor's Note: Your reading
comprehension skills could use a
little work if you expect to
maintain your claimed status as
an "honor student". The
NJROTC students were cited as a
example of the majority of
students who were not
participating in the heathen
smack-down. As for your
history lesson on violence in
schools, you are sadly
misinformed. Such
breakdown of order and
discipline in public schools as
was displayed this week at Great
Mills High School came with the
spread of illegal drugs in the
sixties and the loss of control
of the schools by the educators
as social engineering replaced
teaching, standards were dropped
and self esteem was elevated
above actual accomplishment.
But you will learn the true
value of your degree when you
hit college, if you hit
college.)

Proud of family tree branching
out from Great MillsJust so you know Great Mills
High School has had a bad
reputation for sometime but, you
want to know something even
better? Without this school or
any school we would have
real "heathens."
My family has been going to
Great Mills since it was a one
room school house. My
grandmother went to Great Mills
when it was a one room school
house. She was Valid Victorian
(sic) of her class. My father
also attended Great Mills High
School. He was a well
accomplished student, he had
good grades, he also helps with
St. Mary's Envirothons that our
school attends. My sister-in-law
also attended Great Mills High
School she was an Honor Roll
Student and was the Secretary
for SGA. I am currently
attending Great Mills and I am
doing well in my classes, I have
made my own club, and I have a
great time while learning. ROTC, yes, was outside at this
time but to be honest during the
time that they were arresting
students I was in the back part
of the school during my lunch
period. We all were behaving and
we were trying to figure out
what was going on to our school.
I saw a reporter on the side of
the school that I was and they
weren't taking any pictures of
us! Why is that? Is it because
we were eating and supposedly
not "learning" while ROTC
were...marching? So, just because of our few
incidents we are "heathens,"
"punks," and " idiots?"
Well, honestly what is it that
you get for yourself for calling
children and nonetheless,
students names? Aren't you
suppose to be the mature one? A
very
proud Great Mills
Student Erika Young (Editor's Note: Your family tree
was not fighting at Great Mills
High School on Nov. 5th.
Students who behaved were simply
students, those who were
fighting were heathens and
arrested. Actions speak louder
than words. A picture speaks a
thousand words and news photos
of these heathens being hauled
out in handcuffs is a visible
account of the problems the
schools face all the time with
disruptive students, this time
there were more of them at once
and the school was out of
control of the administration,
leading to the need for two
dozen officers to be called to
restore order and remove the
disruptive students, who earned
the title of "heathens". )

bring to only high school in the
community maybe you should try
and help us out.

READER FEEDBACK
Student Calls for Fellow
Students To Behave; Change the
Reputation of Great Mills by
Stopping the Fighting
I am a senior at Great Mills
this year and all you who
say the newspaper is picking
on black kids should hush.
You are just trying to
center everything around one
race. It wasn't only
black kids fighting at our
school through out the year,
it was a mix and the the
only reason our school get's
such a bad name is because
all the ridiculous fights
that are brought to school.
If you have a problem with
another student take it up
outside school, don't
disrupt our school day
because you want to fight
someone because they hit
your mom or have a beef with
you. Wait and
take it up outside or let
your parents take care of
it like adults, do not take
it up in front all the
students for attention.
I'm not saying I'm perfect
I've been in fights but I
know enough now to not get
into them. if I have an
issues i settle it out of
school or the work area and
for those students who cause
the fight by straight up
punching someone else yes id
call you no offense
"Ignorant" i see if your
attacked and have no other
way to retaliate but self
defense but people don't
just punch some in the face
"THIS IS HOW WARS START" no
matter what color, or grade
or what ever your on school
grounds you know there are
cops in the building, you
know the chain reactions
that happen when you fight
in that school but yet you
still do it knowing the
penalty. Not all
students are bad at Great
Mills, yes some bad
decisions are made but if
you're one of those students
who constantly makes these
bad decision and doesn't
change their ways and is
never punished for it you
will never change and
continue a bad path. And I'm
sure that lady knows who
broke into her house cause I
highly doubt she'd just
accuse them cause they were
fighting but I know some
kids in that school who
fight over shoes.
How ridiculous, grow up, our
school would have a better
name if rumors or guns and
our history of fighting went
down instead were living up
to the name everyone gives
us we're just giving into
the newspaper by fighting,
so maybe we should stop act
like little kids fighting
over toys and grow up and
settle things like adults
and not children, then maybe
no one's kids would be
called heathens or bad kid's
but until we make the change
we not only give our school
a bad name but ourselves.
