District Apologizes To Student Identified As 'Black Girl' In Yearbook

Advertisements [?]

A North Texas school district has apologized to a student identified only as "Black Girl" in a high school yearbook photo of the school's National Honor Society.

All white students are identified by name in the photograph in the Waxahachie High School yearbook distributed Friday.

The teen identified as "Black Girl" is the only black student in the photo.

Waxahachie school district spokeswoman Candace Ahlfinger said the district and the school board issued an immediate apology when the caption was reported.
