Columbine High School opened in the fall of 1973; there was no senior class in its first year. The school's first graduating class was the class of 1975. Columbine was named after the unincorporated community of Columbine, Colorado; where it is located, which in turn is named after the state flower of Colorado: the columbine. Its first principal was Gerald Difford. Not ten years ago, a school shooting took place, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and one teacher, and wounded 24 others, before taking their own lives. The massacre made headlines around the world, making Columbine a household name, and causing a moral panic in American high schools. After the shooting, classes at Columbine were held at nearby Chatfield High School for the remaining three weeks of that school year. On March 1, 2007, bomb threats were received by school faculty and the campus was evacuated. Officers from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office searched the building, but no attacks were made nor was a bomb found in the school or near the vicinity of the school. To this day, the people of this small community in Colorado are davistated, most fear for the lives of their students, sending them to school everyday without being sure they'll come back. The remains of this shattered community are in need of some glue. Do you have the glue?
