Dear Aviators,
This morning we were made aware of a Tik Tok recording of youth in a southern Utah Walmart dressed in costumes that were racist in nature. Public comments on Tik Tok named a few Cedar Valley High School students and their families. After an initial investigation, we can confirm that this information was simply not true. Cedar Valley High School students were not involved in the video. What is more alarming is that some of our students have been targeted with hateful and slanderous comments.
We need to be vigilant about protecting our students and families and we empathize with those who were wrongly named.
The inappropriate Tik Tok recording does not involve our students nor is it reflective of our community values. Let’s continue to work together denouncing and reporting all forms of discrimination and racism while promoting inclusiveness and acceptance at CVHS.
I absolutely love our community of caring parents and students. I am so sorry this happened.
Sincerely,
Courtney Johnson
Principal Cedar Valley High School
