I think a lot of people commented without knowing what infamous means. Most of these are boring average high school experiences.
- student brought a bb gun to class and fired it at the japanese exchange teacher
- graduating year kids decided to “prank” a pregnant teacher by covering the stairs to her office in slippery material (eggs, iirc)
- another graduation “prank” was to let horses out of their field; they got onto train tracks and, well … no more graduation pranks
- history of teachers and staff sexually abusing students
- graveyard full of dead monks
wait this was a private catholic school nvm
Vice principal got caught with CP and hung himself in jail.
Having people of color, which automatically qualified it as “ghetto”. We were under-resourced, and it seemed a lot of the talented kids moved to attend a rival school instead. We routinely got our asses kicked in academics and sports.
“Infamous” exaggerates, but I find this amusing: we had a delightful chant for our sports teams.
COCKSUCKER! MOTHERFUCKER! EAT A BAG OF SHIT! CENTRAL, CENTRAL, HIT! HIT! HIT!
I’ve tried to forget that and I can’t. I wonder where they got it from.
The one kid smashed a kid’s face into a toilet till it broke, toilet and kid’s face, and news crew came filming where we found out almost all our classes are made out of asbestos, late 2000s
UK here. Quite a rural area in the mid-90s, and worlds away from US gun culture, but one time our school was playing rugby against another rival school and a lad brought in a .22 air rifle and shot one of their players in the ass from the edge of the pitch. It was hilarious for those not involved, kid got a telling off and may have been briefly suspended, but thinking about how that would have been reported these days it would probably have caused national outrage.
We had shootings and my locker-mate died in a motorcycle accident. This was in the 90s, so… the usual by today’s standards?
There was this one guy who stole cars, drank, had his own clique and was kind of an anti-hero among us smaller kids. He didn’t care what the teachers said, even the principal couldn’t do anything. They all skated, had bikes, hung out at the local halfpipe. They smoked cigarettes on the school property behind the trash containers. They were prohibited from entering any type of festive the school hosted but always ended up being there and drunk. He sold cigarettes to minors, while being a minor himself. Gosh we had so many papers talking about lost cars, stolen cars, wrecked cars etc.
When he finished school and immediately got a job you didn’t hear anything from him anymore. Now he has a wife, kids and a house.
He literally was that one rebellious kid from the movies who got his shit together.
All that happened before 2007, and now I feel old. Thank you.
It’s okay. It sounds like we are the same age. It goes by too fast.
Student brought Madonna’s Sex book to school. Made it on one of the evening tabloid shows. Tossed small rodents into the open windows of passing cars. Sodomized baseball players with broom handle. Checked girls underwear on the way into prom to make sure they weren’t wearing thongs. Blink 182
Only two of those are on Wikipedia.
At least while I was going to school there, my high school’s football team never won a single game.
Corruption pretty much. The director of the school would constantly pocket a lot of the public funds sent to school and then offload the cost of whatever that money was supposed to go to onto students.
One of my favorite examples of this is this tradition where last year students before graduating are supposed to leave something to the school, and our class was asked to buy new tables, with other classes having to do something stupid like that as well.
I still see the school in the news from time to time being involved in some new corruption scandal lol
That time the sewer backed up into the kitchen plus all of the penises carved into desks and walls.
Dude.
Dude.
DUDE.
The penises carved into desk and walls because the sewer backed up? What the fuck??
The penises were not because of the sewer backup, it’s just what you expected to see everyday. Edited the original post to clarify.
There was one study hall where a penis was drawn on the chalkboard every day. One time, the art showed the ejaculate dribbling a bit. The teacher came in, looked at it, shrugged, said “at least it’s a little more accurate,” erased it, and sat down.
I know right? Kids don’t need any reason to carve penises onto desks and tables and walls. They just do.
Someone burned down the portable houses in the back used for extra classrooms
Wow, and I thought the guys that broke into and pissed all in the halls of our high school were going wild.
One of the older toilets used in a couple of the old school buildings (demolished for a newer one after I graduated) was permanently closed because it became so full of shit.
It was a toilet on a separate building, that was used for a couple of old buildings (one from the 1930’s if the local oral history is to be believed), and another one from the 1970’s. The stench was so unberable that the classrooms near it were also abandoned.
Oh, the school wasn’t infamous for that. I think, pushing shit aside, it’s so wonderfully mediocre that it didn’t really have anything it was famous or infamous for.
