NAPLES, Fla. – A controversial Homecoming spirit week event received a two-page spread in the yearbook and some students are not happy about it.

Naples High School senior Jessica Morales says she was “shocked” when she saw a montage of photos showing her classmates wearing ponchos and large mustaches while holding maracas and “fake green cards.”

One photo showed a student with a handwritten “Border Patrol” sign on her back.

“It was just really offensive because it kind of belittles the whole issue,” Morales tells Fox 4, referring to the immigration process “both of her parents are still enduring.”

A friend of Morales ending up tweeting the photo, which caused it to go viral.

“I was in some way shocked that Naples High School would put in the yearbook as like this is a highlight of something they did this year,” Kristen Perez says.

“It’s really racist, I can tell you that,” according to the student’s father, Miguel Morales. “I’ve never seen anything like that, I thought it was 2015 and people don’t act like that.”

When outrage began to grow, the school was quick to distance itself from its own publication.

Collier County Public Schools Executive Director of Communications and Community Greg Turchetta writes in a statement:

The picture in question is from Naples High School’s Spirit week. The Naples High yearbook staff has a vetting process for which all content is reviewed. If anyone on the yearbook team finds a picture questionable, the yearbook sponsor brings it forward to Principal Saba. That regrettably did not happen in this case. Mr. Saba stated, “We regret if any Golden Eagle student, parent, or community member found it offensive. It was not our intent.

Turchetta adds that the theme was actually “Twin Day.”

“I posted it because I found it highly inconsiderate, and offensive, and further ingraining bad stereotypical images of not only Mexicans or Hispanics, but any immigrants to this county,” Perez tells Naples Herald.
