Sequoyah High School is a school in Madisonville, Tennessee built in 1995 that combined Vonore High School and Madisonville High School. It is named after the Cherokee Indian Sequoyah.
In August 2011, after years of bullying, a group of Sequoyah High students in Madisonville, wanted it to stop. However, when several students attempted to start a gay–straight alliance to address the bullying they were ordered to stop circulating a petition asking for the group to be permitted at the school.
On September 30, 2011, principal Maurice Moser allegedly assaulted a student because the student wore a t-shirt in support of the Gay-Straight Alliance Club.[1][2][3][4]
