Controversy

While Millburn High School has become nationally known for its academic rigor, the school has also made national news for other less positive reasons. In 2009, a hazing tradition became a national storyline and topic of debate. The school's senior female students had established a ritual known as the "Slut List," which was a list of incoming freshman female students that should be made fun of and bullied for their attractiveness. Each year on the first day of school, the senior students would print hundreds of copies of this list and release it all over the school so that all members of the school could see it. The New York Times broke the story in 2009 and it led to a slew of national media outlets coming to the school or talking to the school on their platforms, such as the morning talk show The View.[85] For years, the Slut List went unchecked by school faculty until it became a national headline.

Also in 2009, a racially-charged fight occurred in the parking lot of Millburn High School between an African American student, his father, and a white student. The father and son were accused of beating the other student with a baseball bat and were charged with aggravated assault and weapons possession. A grand jury declined to indict the father and son, while a family court dropped charges against the son. In 2019, the Millburn Board of Education and a former assistant principal reached a $435,000 settlement with the African American son, after the father claimed his son was discriminated against by bullies.[86]
