This year Falmouth Academy will not be allowing two of its seniors (one of whom was scheduled to be valedictorian) to walk with their class because of suspicion that they may have been using marijuana. One of the girls took a drug test and it came out negative. A reasonable punishment might be community service, but FA has decided to send letters to these students' future colleges and not allow them to return to the school or participate in the graduation ceremony have after six years of being deeply engaged in the FA community. Please sign this petition to show your support for these students.
The Falmouth Academy administration continues to hide behind their closed doors instead of explaining why they insist on ruining the futures of these students. We are keeping the pressure on because this vindictive punishment is a total disgrace to the values they claim to uphold.
June 1, 2013
The administration at Falmouth Academy thought they could silence these students and sweep this cruelty under the rug without anyone noticing. This surge of support proves they were dead wrong and now the board has to look at the reality of their spiteful decisions.

Drug test was negative so where is the proof? Seems like they just want to make an example out of them. Let them graduate.

Ridiculous power trip by the administration. Ruining a kids future over a suspicion is just wrong.

Sending letters to colleges is just spiteful. They should be ashamed of themselves for acting like this.

This is totally over the top. Letting them walk at graduation doesnt hurt anyone. Let them enjoy their achievement after all that hard work.
