For 17 minutes, hundreds of Nathan Hale students flooded the football field as part of a national walkout in response to the school shooting in Florida. Students also talked about safety concerns in light of the shooting that happened across the street from Nathan Hale earlier this month. 
 
"Communication definitely needs to be a better area at the school and that everybody's on the same page," said Mollie Montgomery, junior. "And whenever stuff does happen, we need to be told the truth, and we need to be told the truth because it's our lives and our safety."
 
Some students plan to continue making their voices heard beyond National Walkout Day.
