A high school junior was identified as “Isis Phillips” in the yearbook for Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga. The school has apologized.
“[Los Osos High School] is taking every step possible to correct & investigate a regrettable misprint discovered in the yearbook,” wrote Principal Susan Petrocelli on Twitter. “We sincerely apologize.”
The school also sent out this tweet:

The school told the student in the photo that it was an error – something she does not believe.
“I am extremely saddened, disgusted, hurt and embarrassed,” she wrote on Facebook. “The school reached out to me and had the audacity to say that this was a typo. I beg to differ, let’s be real.”
Trevor Santellan, a student on the yearbook staff, told ABC 7 that there actually was a student named Isis Phillips at Los Osos who transferred earlier in the year.
The school says that they are working on a fixing the yearbook.
“The yearbook publisher has already been contacted and is working on a solution to remedy this unfortunate situation,” Superintendent Mat Holton told the Whittier Daily News. “If they find that a student acted irresponsibly and intentionally, administration will take appropriate actions.”
