‘God’ stripped from Higley High yearbook

An honors student at Higley High School is asking administrators for an explanation after the word “God” was edited out of his biography in the school’s yearbook.
Anthony Sciubba was one of 13 seniors to receive a special full-page tribute in the yearbook, which was distributed Tuesday.
The text accompanying a photo of Sciubba, shown wearing his letter jacket and holding a Bible, said that he owed all of his success “to others.” But Sciubba said he specifically credited God.
He later was told by Higley’s yearbook faculty adviser that God could not be printed because of concerns over separation of church and state.
Sciubba said he met Wednesday with Higley’s vice principal and was told that the school would consult with lawyers on the matter.
Sciubba, 18, plans to study theology at Pepperdine University and hopes to become a doctor and Christian missionary.
