"We, the undersigned, have recently been involved with a myspace group that was defaming and slandering the institution of the School of the Arts Academy. For this we make no excuse. We hereby admit that this was wrong, and we are prepared to make amends in our own fashion. We in hindsight find our actions wrong and our vitriol unfounded.
Personally, I wouldn't include that. I wouldn't be ashamed of some grudge match I got into on the internet with another school.

I probably would feel ashamed if I were to get involved in a grudge match with a schoolbut so what?
Your administrator has violated your First Amendment civil rights. If someone had done that to me, I'd feel morally obliged, both for my own sake and that of other students, to take the administrator to court for very serious quantities of money. Until it actually adversely affects their budgets, schools will continue to infringe students' civil rights with impunity.
Fight back and fight hard, friend!
Question is.... what is constitutionally protect as per section d
Not a lawyer, but my two cents -Regarding harassment and threats, you may want to look to California statute. Anything not specifically illegal is probably going to be 'constitutionally protected'.
Threats are fairly easy to rule of thumb define - "I'm going to beat up Joe Smith tomorrow after school", etc. Harassment is probably going to be you contacting them - not something you put on a website - if you're calling them, im'ing them, or emailing them it could be harassment.
