THOMASVILLE, N.C. — Thomasville High School sent out a redesigned yearbook cover after the previous cover showed an old photo containing the Confederate flag.
Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Catherine Gentry says they're sending out 2018-2019 yearbooks with the new cover to the roughly 60 students and staff that requested changes.
The previous cover featured a picture from the class of 1968 that had the words "Go Dogs" being held in front of the Confederate flag. The theme of the yearbook is "Blast to the Past" with the cover showing a collage of old photos from the school's history.
"We apologize for such an egregious error and vow to have a system in place to prevent such mistakes from happening again," the school system said in a social media post last week.
