![]() ![]() “Over 300 of those crazy-haired trolls hidden all throughout the school building … tossed up onto high ledges too. ![]() Good luck getting rid of us.’ It was last year’s group, and I still find them sometimes in books or behind a piece of furniture. “A class printed thousands of business cards that said something like, ‘There are 5,000 of these hidden around the school. These classes certainly knew how to leave a lasting impression! Several senior pranks involved leaving items around the school that were often not found until years later. “Students in another high school in my district made a Zillow listing for their school.” It said, ‘proceeds will benefit the class of -'” “We had a group put the assistant principal’s car up for sale on Craigslist with his cell phone number. The internet disappoints us sometimes, but not when it comes to harmless online-selling pranks. There were 942 graduates and the superintendent’s son was the last to cross the stage!” “A single marble in each graduate’s hand given to the superintendent when shaking hands at graduation. “The year our school got a new building, the seniors didn’t do a prank in the building but instead each of them handed the superintendent an egg when they received their diploma.” Is it the randomness? The subtlety that builds over time? Either way, we think these pranks are egg-ceptionally marble-ous. We’re not sure why, but these graduation pranks are particularly hilarious to us. He came in the next day and laughed harder than anyone has before.” Tree in the classroom, lights, tinsel, stockings, etc. So for April Fools’ we got the janitor to let us in after school and went Christmas crazy. Complained all year about it being the worst holiday to exist. Then on senior prank day, they ‘planted’ the trees in the soccer field. “At a nearby high school, the kids collected discarded Christmas trees and saved them until spring. ![]() ![]() These pranks take “deck the halls” to a new level. “Two years ago the seniors at my kids’ high school hired a mariachi band to follow the principal around for the day. “A group of kids in a circle yelling ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ Circle opens up and instead of kids fighting, it’s a mariachi band!” Festive, boisterous … can anyone listen to Guantanamera without feeling joyful? Note: While we don’t condone pretending there’s a fight, we absolutely condone mariachi bands (as long as they’re not treated as the butt of the joke). Two pranks involved hiring mariachi bands to serenade the school. What they didn’t know? That we knew about it! It was great fun and everyone helped clean up afterwards!” “The seniors thought they would ‘sneak in’ to the school late at night and put all the senior teachers’ furniture in the hallways. Other good-natured pranks focused on teachers. “When my husband was principal at our local high school, seniors got into his office and individually wrapped EVERYTHING with aluminum foil-every book, pen, file folder, etc.!” The principal thought it was a hoot and sat in a pool chair, with her feet in the pool, before school started.” They had pool chairs, a small kiddie pool (filled with water!), and lots of pool toys. “The seniors made a ‘poolside lounge’ in the intersection in front of the high school office. Everything was in the same position as in his actual office, and they ran I don’t know how many feet of electrical cord so that he was fully able to work outside for the day.” “The relocation of the principal’s office-including literally everything that wasn’t nailed down-out onto the field. What’s a good senior prank without getting the principal involved? Fortunately, he was a good sport about it since he knew he’d get it back.” “One of the seniors had a dad who owned a heavy-equipment rental business, so they put the principal’s car on the roof of the gym right before homecoming. Happy ending-they showed up the next day and removed it, so the school didn’t have to pay for it.” The school couldn’t get it off in time, so everyone showing up for graduation had to walk past their prank. “The welding program seniors welded a VW Bug around the flagpole the day before graduation. ![]()
