Noteworthy Events

"Spring 2004:" Mark Schneider and Jeffrey Schneider, students at South Windsor High School , won the Siemens Westinghouse Competition with their research project, “Simulation of the West Nile Virus using STELLA 7.02.” The competition features a $100,000 top prize, and the brothers were interviewed by several media outlets, including CNN's Paula Zahn.

"April 2005:" Four students at South Windsor High School made national headlines when they wore t-shirts bearing anti-gay marriage slogans. At the time, the Connecticut General Assembly voted to legalize civil unions in the state. School administrators asked the students to remove the shirts, but they refused and were asked to leave school grounds. The content of the shirts and the actions of school administrators raised issues of free speech within a school environment. The ACLU, among other groups, criticized the school's actions and the incident became known across the nation.

"December 2006:" The ACLU threatened legal action against South Windsor Public Schools since the graduation ceremony is held at a church in Bloomfield. The organization contends that this is a violation of separation of church and state.
