Bellevue, Nebraska. In both instances, a small number of protesters arrived at the school and protested during school hours. Creighton Prep announced they would make no comment about the protest and urged students to do the same. On March 14, 2018, there was a nationwide walkout protesting gun violence, occurring exactly 1 month after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. At Creighton Prep, approximately 50 students participated. Creighton Prep officials, in response to the walkout, stated "...any student who chooses to leave class...will need to be prepared for the academic and disciplinary consequences...". The walkout included signs stating "#Enough" and holding a 17-minute vigil for each of the 17 victims. In a student-wide email, all students were expected to notify their teachers and give their demerit cards when leaving, resulting in a JUG (detention) for "unexcused absence". This stood in contrast with Millard West High School and Council Bluffs schools that stated they would not pursue disciplinary actions. In 2020, 70 Creighton Prep alumni signed a petition to have Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine, Creighton Prep class of 1970, removed from the Creighton Prep board of trustees. This petition was formed during the George Floyd Protests, in response to Kleine's determination to not pursuing felony charges against Omaha business owner Jake Gardner in the shooting of James Scurlock. Singer and Prep alum Conor Oberst began the petition due to Creighton Prep's lack of statement following the murder of George Floyd and the shooting of James Scurlock. The Creighton Prep Board of Trustees voted unanimously to keep Kleine on the board a week later and the case of Jake Gardner was appealed to a grand jury.
