It is strictly based on individual judgement” says Assistant Principal Tracy War ren. So far this year there have been no reports of sexual hartasmenL Some students take of fense at behavior other students shake off. Outwardly sexual harrasment doesn’t seem to have much affect on the life of RMSH. If you were to ask some students, you might be surprised to find that most students have been witnesses to some acts of this nature. Confusion sets in because people have differing personal defi nitions of sexual harrasment If you feel harrassed, remember NO MEANS NO. If you say no and the harrassment continues, report the incident to a teacher or an adminis trator.
