Stoughton High Black Knights Black Out Bullying
Stoughton High students and faculty took part in an anti-bullying initiative last Friday.
Dozens of students and faculty wore black to school on Friday, taking part in the school’s efforts to “black out bullying.”
The initiative was sponsored by the school’s Peer Mediation and S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) groups.
“It’s our statement that we do not tolerate bullying in this building,” Stoughton High principal Matt Colantonio said.

Peer Mediation coordinator Terri Croghan said about 60 students from SHS also attended “Stand Up 2011,” a rally against bullying, held in December.

It’s events like these and Friday’s black out that “promote respect for the school and community,” Croghan said.
