'Offensive' signs found, removed at Warner Robins High School

According to the principal, the person responsible for putting the signs up has been dealt with.

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Warner Robins High School leaders say they found out who posted offensive signs in the school Wednesday and dealt with them.

The school district did not describe the signs, but viewers sent us photos of two adjacent water fountains. One sign said, ‘Whites here,’ and the other read, ‘Colored here.’

Principal Chris McCook says they removed the signs immediately. In a call to parents, McCook says the school dealt with the person responsible, but did not elaborate.

McCook added, “We take these offensive matters very seriously and we do not tolerate this type of behavior.”

"We're very quick, we're very swift in dealing with the situation as well as the students who do things like this in our school system," Walter Stephens, the executive director for school operations said.

13WMAZ did confirm that the student who put the signs up was a person of color. No motive has been released.

Stephens says this is an isolated incident and that parents should feel safe letting their kids go to their schools.
