History
The school caught national media attention in 2009 by suspending 17-year-old Tyler Frost for going to his girlfriend's public school prom at Findlay High School.[1][2][3] Frost had signed a contract with the school prohibiting dancing at the start of the academic year, though there was a dispute over whether it applied outside of school.[4] The student was not permitted to attend graduation on May 24, 2009, due to his violation of school policy against students listening to rock and roll and dancing.[4][5] School officials said he could complete his final exams separately to receive a diploma.
