Controversy
On June 19, 2021, the high school basketball team competed against Orange Glen High School in a regional championship game. Following the game, at least two Coronado High School students hurled tortillas at members of their predominantly Latino opponents.[11][12] The District's board unanimously voted to fire high school head basketball coach J. D. Laaperi following the incident.[11] The board issued a formal apology on August 19.[13]
