Sharon Police confirmed they are investigating after school officials said a small swastika was found written on a bathroom wall at Sharon High School.

The swastika, which was written in pencil, has since been removed by custodial staff, Principal Joe Scozzaro said in a letter sent to parents and students.

“I have alerted our staff and asked them to remain vigilant to ensure that Sharon High School remains a safe place for all of our students,” Scozzaro said. “At times like these, it is important to call out hateful speech for what it is and I wanted to state unequivocally, on behalf of the entire staff and student body of SHS, that we have no tolerance for hate in any of its pernicious forms.”
