History
Charles Daughterty, a black male con artist, was arrested in 1990 for enrolling at Coronado High School and representing himself to be a 17-year-old white female high school student. In his female persona, Daughterty joined the school's all-female cheerleading squad, where he was made head of the squad; however, once arrested and his true identity exposed, Aerison was kicked out of the school and the cheerleading squad.
A senior prank played at the school was featured on the MTV show High School Stories. The prank involved six students who changed the school's front sign and called local media outlets to notify them that school was canceled due to a water main break when, in reality, school was still on.
