Controversies
In 2006, a group of cheerleaders from McKinney North High School, one of whom was Karrissa Theret, daughter of the then-school principal, Linda Theret, became notorious for truancy, rudeness in class, violations of the school's dress code and other acts of misconduct. The scandal broke into national news when the school's cheerleading coach, Michaela Ward, resigned in protest in October of that year and began talking to news and media outlets. In December 2006, the District Board hired a Dallas attorney, Harry Jones, to investigate the issue. Then-Principal Theret was placed on paid administrative leave and later retired, and the superintendent has said she would not return to the school or any other campus.
The McKinney cheerleader scandal was portrayed in 2008 in the TV movie Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal, which Lifetime Television transmitted in August 2008; the name of the school was changed, as were the names of the students and the teachers involved. Tatum O'Neal portrayed principal Linda Theret (name changed to Lorene Tippitt), Ashley Benson Karrissa Theret (name changed to Brooke Tippitt), and Jenna Dewan coach Michaela Ward (name changed to Emma Carr). The movie was filmed in the New Orleans metropolitan area.
