Revoke Saint Mark's Title of "Best Private School in Delaware"

The Issue

Saint Mark's was voted the #1 Best Private School in Delaware in 2020. Since their award winning, they have posted large billboards in front of other schools in Delaware. There are billboards in front of Salesianum, Charter School of Wilmington, and down the street from Padua Academy. Their students are snobby and rude and are terrible sports. It would be beneficial for them to realize that they aren't the center of the universe.

We understand that they are advertising their school and are proud that they won. We would be fine with that but the fact is that putting up literal billboards in front of other high schools crushes the self esteem of the students and doesn't encourage them to to try to make their high school better. 

We've been told as teenagers to speak up and to take a stand for what will make us better, and this is how we choose to empower our own schools and take away the power of the mighty. Saint Mark's may have a better rank compared to others schools, but that doesn't mean that they should advertise it so ridiculously and bring down other high schools.  

This petition is to create solidarity between the other private schools in Delaware and bring to the attention of Delaware's Reader's Choice Awards that there are other schools that truly deserve this title.
