Centerburg High School was the center of a cheating controversy for its seniors class in 2009 that resulted in the cancellation of the graduation ceremony for that year, a day before the scheduled ceremony.[3] A student hacked the teachers' computers to gain access to the world studies and science tests, and then shared the world studies test with other students. An investigation by the school board found that more than half of the graduating class had copies of the leaked world studies test or knew about the leak but didn't report it.[4] The cancellation of the ceremony resulted in protests at the school which gained national media attention, and an unofficial graduation ceremony was organized by the families of the class of 2009 at Hilliar Park the day after what would have been the official graduation ceremony, of which footage was aired on local television stations.
