More about The Doxxing of Clearwater High

doxxing (noun):

1. to search for and publish private information about someone on the internet, typically with malicious intent.

2. to ruin someone's life.

Clearwater is a town that has forgotten that every great teacher is first a great liar. All of that changes one day in December when a mysterious hacker uploads 119 private files stolen from Clearwater's teachers. Suddenly the private medical records, email exchanges, tax returns, Tinder profiles, Netflix preferences, Craigslist ads, direct messages, and GPS movements of 41 educators are a curious click away, and the rest of the faculty dwells in fear of another leak.

The Doxxing of Clearwater High tells the stories of the teachers and students exposed by this suburban Wikileaks. The science teacher with the shocking search history. The math teacher who made a sex tape. The French teacher outed as a transgender woman. The English teacher concealing a hidden punk rock past. The principal racing to save his school from collapse. In an era where every phone hides a camera and every keystroke leaves a trail, a community must acknowledge that those charged with teaching the humanities are often the most fallibly human themselves.
