Charlotte Catholic HS football players disciplined for bullying

CHARLOTTE ( QUEEN CITY NEWS ) — Charlotte Catholic High School says it’s investigating three incidents of bullying involving members of the football team inside the boys’ locker room.

In a letter sent to parents, the school says it became aware of the incidents at the beginning of October and has started to discipline those involved. In a statement from the school, some students have already been expelled, suspended, removed from the football, or received other punishments.

Charlotte Catholic High School has a strict policy that prohibits bullying and intimidation of any kind and includes consequences for anyone involved in such behavior. On Tuesday, we shared with our school community that we are investigating three bullying incidents that occurred in our boys locker room in recent weeks and involved members of our football team. While our investigation is ongoing, we have already begun to discipline those involved, imposing consequences that have included expulsion, suspension, removal from the football team and other penalties. We appreciate the support we have received from parents and students, who are partnering with us to help ensure incidents like this don’t happen again and that students feel empowered to report concerning behavior, as they did in this matter.
