Early this morning, toilet paper was discovered throughout trees near the main entrance of the Bishop Carroll campus. Students and faculty have seen this before — on Sept. 4, 2015, the date of last year’s season-opening varsity football game at Northwest High. Similarly, the season opener tonight is Northwest at Carroll. “We don’t know for sure that it was Northwest…Northwest’s principal has already emailed Mrs. Nielsen and myself and apologized,” said Principal Vanessa Harshberger. Harshberger said the incidents have become a “kind of a yearly thing.” “So we have patrol run by more often and last year we caught a couple of kids,” Harshberger said. “The consequences were pretty severe last year so Northwest is proactive in letting the students know, ‘Hey, we don’t want you to do this.’” Meanwhile, Northwest High School principal Gil Alvarez asked Harshberger and Nielsen in his email to send any pictures caught by the school’s security cameras to him so Northwest can try and identify the students involved. Harshberger said, “It’s easy for me to say ‘kids will be kids’ or ‘it happens every year’ because I’m not the one cleaning it up. It’s a waste of toilet paper, a waste of money, and a waste of good time.” Story by co-editor Grace Kelly with reporting from photo journalism student Addi Bright
