Swastika at Concord-Carlisle High School Under Investigation

CONCORD, MA – A swastika was found on a bathroom wall at Concord-Carlisle Regional High School last week, according to Principal Michael Mastrullo. The graffiti was found May 2, and Mastrullo brought it to the attention of the Concord-Carlisle community on his blog that day.

"An unacceptable and deplorable incident occurred in our building today, and we denounce it in no uncertain terms," Mastrullo wrote.

Mastrullo assured families that the incident is under investigation and emphasized that all students should feel "safe and welcome" at the school.

"This reprehensible action is entirely inconsistent with our school values and beliefs," he wrote.

Superintendent Diana Rigby told the Concord Journal that security tapes are being reviewed and investigators are interviewing students, faculty and staff who may have additional information. Late last year, racist and anti-Semitic graffiti was found on three separate occasions at Concord Middle School, the Journal reported.
