On March 14, 2018, there was a nation wide 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.
