CONCORD, N.H. —
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office is investigating the conduct of St. Paul’s School in Concord in connection with sexual assaults at the school and a student practice known as the “senior salute.”
Attorney General Gordon MacDonald said the investigation was initiated as the result of a report concerning sexual assaults by teachers on their students and reports of ongoing student sexual conquest rituals.
Prosecutors at the time said that he was taking part in a practice known as the “senior salute,” in which seniors try to have sex with younger students before graduation.
Officials said there are reports that the senior salute happened again this year.
“Protection of children is a paramount priority for law enforcement,” Gordon said. “I am confident that an institution such as St. Paul’s School will be fully cooperative with this investigation.”
In a statement sent to WMUR, Michael Hirschfeld, Rector at St. Paul’s School, said the school has been in contact with local law enforcement, and would continue to fully cooperate with any inquiries received.
