Senior Pranks 2006

Status: Mischief
Most high schools are now out for the summer, so I thought it would be an appropriate time to pause and remember some of the senior pranks that made headlines this year. As usual, they're a mix of the clever, stupid, rude, and cruel.

Car on roof - image Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School: School officials found a Honda Accord "painted neon pink and covered with green question marks" on the roof of the high school. "Nassau police and school officials said yesterday that dozens of students used crudely made ramps to drag the Honda Accord... onto the roof."

Power out - Neuqua Valley High School: Two students were arrested for attempting what they called the "senior prank of all senior pranks." Their plan was to disable a generator and take "other steps to ensure the power would go out and classes would be canceled for younger students still in school." They were caught in the act by a custodian and arrested at their homes.

School for sale - Cape Fear Academy: "During the night before their last day of school Friday, about 20 members of the senior class strung a $215, 3-foot-by-9-foot vinyl sign with large, red letters spelling out "Entire School For Sale" and the school's telephone number between two posts in front of the school yard on South College Road. Another 20 or so smaller "For Sale" signs were peppered around the grounds."

Squealing pig - Severna Park High School: Students "released a squealing 31-pound piglet named Hamilton into the halls on the sinister date of 6/6/06 ... Purloined from a county park for an end-of-year stunt, the 3-month-old pig -- nickname: Hammy -- appeared Tuesday morning in the math wing of the Annapolis area school between the first and second class periods. Administrators cornered the frightened animal near an exit, where he submitted to capture as students recorded the moment on their cellphone cameras. 'There was this crowd of people who were, like, 'Omigod, there's a pig,' ' said Sarah Wade, a junior."

Marijuana muffins - Lake Highlands High School: A friend of a student delivered marijuana-spiked muffins to the teachers lounge. "He brought bran muffins to suburban Lake Highlands High School on May 16, saying they were part of an Eagle Scout project. When school employees ate the muffins, they began complaining of nausea, lightheadedness and headaches, and were briefly hospitalized. "They were just thinking it would be fun to get these teachers all silly and giggly," said Rita Greenfield, an 86-year-old receptionist at the school who spent two days in the hospital after eating the muffins.

Cruelty to animals - Ponderosa High School: "The local news broadcasters used words like 'horrified,' 'abusive behavior' and 'unbelievable act of cruelty' to describe the so-called senior prank at an area high school that involved someone dropping 45 baby chicks from a second-floor balcony, resulting in the deaths of seven of the chicks.... Four years ago in the county, a student at Highlands Ranch High School threw a rabbit across the gymnasium at a pep rally, breaking its legs and paralyzing it. The rabbit was later destroyed." (Good grief! PETA needs to open a chapter in that county.)

Doors glued shut - Independence High School (San Jose): "Right in the middle of finals week, an entire high school campus was virtually shut down Tuesday morning, after somebody glued classroom doors shut... The pranksters used super glue, as well as toothpicks in the locks. The numbers "06" were also painted on school buildings... As exams were delayed and students and teachers milled about this morning, maintenance crews used blow-torches to melt the glue that was squirted onto classroom locks."

Personalized underwear - East Aurora High (suburban Chicago): Several seniors were banned from attending graduation "as punishment for participating in an end-of-the-year prank last week that involved spray painting school property, stealing a statue of the Tomcat mascot and hanging underwear adorned with printout photos of administrators' faces in front of the building.... The damages have cost the district $1,700,"

Baby oil on floor - Omaha Burke High School: Students spread baby oil on the school's floors, resulting in injury for one teacher. "The principal of Omaha Burke High School underwent knee surgery Tuesday for an injury she suffered when she slipped on baby oil spread by vandals on the school's floors... Officers had caught five 18-year-olds inside the school, where 20 locker doors had a glue-type substance put in their locks and where the floors and stairs were coated with baby oil.

Flat tires - Jefferson High School (New Jersey): "a high school prankster deflated the front tires of 24 school buses parked at a Weldon Road compound Tuesday, but district officials weren't laughing as they were forced to cancel classes for more than 3,600 students... In addition to the tire damage, the vandals left behind another clue: The numbers "06" spray-painted on one of the buses."

Alcohol allowed - Daniel Hand High School: "Parents of high school seniors received a letter from Daniel Hand High School, with official letter head, concerning the upcoming prom. Included,a policy about drinking that it was allowed!... Principal Barbara Britton acted immediately to get the word out that this letter was not authentic posting a message on the school's website saying: "Let me assure you that underage drinking and the serving of alcoholic beverages is not permissible at the senior prom or any sponsored school event."

So last year at Holt High school, the seniors thought that it would be funny if all of a sudden the animals on Edrus ( Skate arenia) were to come up missing. Well the night before someone stole a Monkey and a Zebra off the roof and put them on the West Side of the school. The next Morning when school started everyone who came in on the west side saw the Prank. The Teachers thought that was funny and wondered how they got them and how they got them on the roof in the first place without getting caught. They people who stole them brought them back to Edrus.

Me and the senior class made shirts that said Senior Prank 07, foyer at 10 AM BE THERE and everybody wore these shirts on the day And then we waited outside of the foyer until 10 when all of the hall monitors, security guards, and administrators showed up to stop what we were doing, until we showed up with a sign that said you fell for it. It was great, and everyone laughed pretty hard after wards.

All you have to do is take the little rollie things out of the computer mouses!! It's great!! None of the computer classes could do any work and Seniors couldn't do their term papers!! HAHA It was hilarious!

at my school a long long time ago, (my teacher told me of this) there was a big blizzard and tons of snow, so they made HUGE snowballs, like 6 feet high each (took like 10 ppl to push them) and they would push one in front of the teachers car and one behind it. then the teacher went out and relized they couldnt get out..it was absolutely hilarious......!!

Some friends of mine just pulled off a senior prank, They put the lunch chairs and tables used by the faculty on the roof of the school. It was funny except for one small detail. They got caught!!! I highly suggest to all of you that if your going to commit a prank don't break into the school and make sure that you are under the age of 18. If your 18 or older the school is likely to press major charges aginst you. My six friends all got kicked out of school and possibly will not graduate. One of them even has felony charges aginst him and could see jail time. If your gonna pull off a prank make sure its worth not walking across that stage and/or going to jail.

Well, we at Lutheran High School recently discussed senior pranks and came up with a few ideas: set tires over the flag pole so that they are stuck there, chain the doors to the school shut, (for this we have a large window on wednesdays when our teachers have a meeting) we could unhinge all the classroom doors in the school.
Posted by Why Not?  on  Fri Mar 02, 2007  at  09:56 PM
some people need to get a little more creative how about something other than o idk "i got 3 pigs, chickens what ever i numbered them 1 2 and 4 get it" yes everyone gets it and everyone has heard that idea many times

The best Senior prank was the year before me when they sent a letter home to all the students, useing the school letterhead and everything, that said condoms were going to be handed out at prom sighting a bill number sr2006 and a bunch of parents actually bought it. The best part was our principal thought it was funny but she got a lot of crap from parents and her bosses. They never caught the kids either.

My class is going to make a sock puppet movie that makes fun of all of the teachers and then switch it with the school announcement tape at second hour.

My English teacher told me two great pranks, and they're harmless.

1. Take all the chairs in the school, and put them in the bathrooms. This does two things:
a) No one has a chair to sit in.
b) Bathrooms can't be accessed.

2. Take a freshmen, strip them to their boxers, and paint them in school colors. Then, before school starts, chain them across the entrance that the buses use. The buses won't be able to enter the school!

If u go to a chrisian school and take communion u can spike the wine with evercleer and tell all the seniors to cross their arms so that they don't have to do it and at the end the father will have to drink all of what's left over, because its a rule. Hammered Preachers!!! yea

I thought of a Sr. prank just today but when i saw it might cost the school $1.5k and I decided against it. Feel free to use it though as long as you give me credit 😊 This takes awhile to do it right though. Actually it takes about 3 years. Anyway what you need is 14 ppl a school elevator and those little cups they give you for water at lunch. So what you do is get all fourteen of your friends to take three of those cups every day and collect them somewhere and after three (school) years you should have collected 22680 cups what you do after that is get the elevator key and find a way to get all 22680 cups in the elevator (if your school has cameras like mine does this might be hard) then post a sign so everyone will believe you did it (and your class year) and wait the next day for some poor cripple to open the elevator.

And before you do this plz look at the cost of plastic cups its actually a surprisingly large sum.

A few years ago, the seniors at my highschool released two chickens in the forum and pained a 1 and a 3 on them. the administration found the two chickens, but never found the #2 chicken that never existed.

I thought of a pretty good senior prank for my graduating class. On our main street we have a chinese buffet place that of course sells sushi. Take as much sushi as you can and stuff them in purses or backpacks or whatever over a certain amount of time to collect a shit ton of them. Then get a couple of buddies to go around in the bathrooms and put them in the paper towel dispensers and in the bottom of trash cans or someplace hidden and see how bad the smell will get over the summer!!!!!!!
Posted by Shawn  on  Wed Apr 04, 2007  at  02:50 PM
The best by far senior prank i have seen is when 3 seniors let loose 3 pigs numbered 1, 2 and 4. The staff spent weeks trying to find pig number 3

Me and my friends are going to school late at night to hoist up a personalized flag in our honor. We will try to rig it so that it cannot be taken down without climbing up there, or on the roof! Then we're going to dig a crop circle in the kickball field. Maybe we'll add a few complementary speed bumps in the teacher's parking lot if we have time!
Posted by Kristen Coski  on  Thu Apr 12, 2007  at  01:08 PM
We're going to put a car on our lunchroom roof painted up in school colors with '07' and such all over it.

I like some of the ideas on here from others, but honestly, give it a rest with the 3 pigs numbered 1,2, and 4. Everyone and their mother has heard of that one.

Unfortunately, there's a fine line between a prank and a crime. Like someone said before, be sure to weigh the pros and cons in your head. I heavily advise to only do it if you're under 18, also.

Best Senior prank, spray painting our school name on an off ramp of 95 by staging an accident and redirecting cars at 2 in the morning.

And we cut down a tree
Posted by Master Bates  on  Thu Apr 19, 2007  at  09:23 AM
Sadly, I googled "senior pranks" to help some of my seniors come up with a creative prank, but all I'm finding is cruel, illegal, and valdalization type pranks--often posted by folks who can't even spell. One must wonder how did they graduate? Anyway, if you have any fun and creative ideas, please post away.

Me and a bunch of the seniors are going to buy really cheap dildos and super glue them to the walls, and cement them into the ground in front of the school.we are also going to have a bunch to just chuck at people the last day of school. also, my school has this thing called the a-hole(its real name).it is in a-wing at the entrance, and it is like a balcony only circular. so at lunch we're going to dump big buckets of dildos on people and then drop a sign that says "you just got fucked in the a-hole". so does anyone know where we can get like 200 REALLY cheap dildos?

At the BEGINNING of our senior year, a friend and I designed and painted a large (24'x6') banner reading "CCHS 2007." The night before school started, we hiked up to the school and climbed on the roof of our gym, where the antenna for the school bus radio network resides. The hundred-foot tall antenna. We scaled nearly the entire thing, climbing just as high as the topmost guywire (about 80-some feet off the roof of the gym), and hung the banner with carabiners from the cables. It slid down and billowed out majestically. We only barely got away without getting caught, but we made it, and the banner stayed up all day. The school had to call the fire department's biggest ladder truck to take it down, and even that barely reached.

one year, our clas drew a naked lady on the chalk bored in wet chalk. then we gave her very fasionable clothing over the top when the chalk had dried. when our teacher came in he sad "nice picture" and tried to rub her off. but because she was drewn on in wet chalk, only her clothing came off. our poor teacher didn't know what to do

The Senior prank for this year is going to be done the night before graduation. My graduation is held at the football field. Myself and some other friends are going to go for the athletic field the night before graduation. We figure that this will make some pretty decorations for graduation!

I was a freshman last year but my eldest cousin was a senior at the same school...(i got included in the prank lucky me!) In the parking lot in front of the school a giant penis was drawn and then filled in all with coulored spray paint then they we made a huge drip comming out of the front(hehehehe). We also forked the entire school yard...lol :0 😊

Even better than releasing one pig, an impressive senior prank that happened a few years back while I was an underclassmen:
Three pigs were released on campus in the morning. Each pig had a number spray painted on it: #1, #2, and #4. After the pigs were caught, the nonexistant third pig's whereabouts puzzled the administration for the rest of the day.
Posted by student  on  Sun May 06, 2007  at  02:26 PM
Enough with the numbered pigs/chicken/whatever.

The Senior Prank has to be something memorable, original, and hopefully, legal. So if you're looking for ideas for a senior prank, try brainstorming with a couple of buddies of yours, or even better, chat up a cool teacher.

A history teacher at my high school was a notorious prankster as a child, so we spent a good hour or so talking to him about possible pranks.

Try something random, like filling a teachers car/truck bed with popcorn.

Or, drywall the inside of a doorway to an office. Make sure you have a way out, via window or something like that.

i was thinking about puting a hole in da glass of da door in da front of the scholl and then put a hose in there and flood the school
Posted by Kerinique  on  Tue May 08, 2007  at  10:49 PM
The senior for the senior prank at my school called everyone in the high school (using some automated recording system)
and used someone's very offical sounding voice telling all the parents that the next day at school had been cancelled due to a major plumming issue, that the pluming wasent working or somthing...it is Georgia law that if plumming is not working at a school the students cannot attend the school untill it is fixed
that was the most beautiful day at home i ever spent
i knew it was the senior prank (i've got connections wHAt wHAt)
but why would i ever tell my parents that?
Posted by qwerty  on  Thu May 10, 2007  at  06:59 PM
It's pretty tough to do things with animals in Chicago.
This is a pretty original prank that happened when I was a sophmore, and I don't think we'll be able to top it. I don't think you'd get in trouble if you got caught. Anyway, our school sells locks and like 95% of students buy the same lock-and-key locks. The problem with this is that some clever senior must have bought some master-key for this particular kind of lock. They were nice enough not to steal anything, but instead they took off every lock in the school and switched it randomly with another lock in the school. No one could get into their locker. The school had to take off all the locks, and students had to go through each lock one at a time to see if their key would work.

At our school, all senior prank ideas are given to the class's faculty advisor, who takes them to the superintendent for approval, but none of the other administrators get to know what they are. It keeps people from doing illegal/harmful things, and therefore people have to get much more creative!

My psych teacher told me about the class of 76. There are two smallish hills in our courtyard, and they made a giant bra out of tarps and put it over the hills. They also planted a small bush on each, as "nipples", which are still there!

My idea for this year is to put furniture in the hallways. Recliners, sofas, beds. But in places where they're out of the way, like at the bottom of a stairwell where there's always a bunch of room. Also, b/c we're the class of 07, we're doing something with James Bond. I don't know what yet.
Posted by Zoiy  on  Fri May 11, 2007  at  09:42 AM
Today is my day for our senior prank. A group of friends have written a very convincing letter to be taped to the front door of the school explaining that if school isn't cancelled for the day that something catastrophic could happen to the football field. (Finished three days ago with Turf... took months and cost tens of thousands.)

Then out on the field we used baby powder to write 'boom'.

Hopefully this interests anyone. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I've talked to my parents about what their senior pranks were and they were both the same concept and completely legal.

When they shook hands with the principal at graduation when getting their diplomas, my mom's class handed the principal beer bottle tops, and my dad's class handed the principal condoms.

Another thing that our class thought about doing is something called "Chop, Chop, Chop...Timber!" Basically, the concept is that someone or a group of people at graduation (like when they say "We present the class of '07") yells "Chop, Chop, Chop!" and then the rest of the class yells "Timber!" and falls out of their chairs. I thought this one was cute, and if you do it near the end of graduation then I don't think there will be any consequences.

well i am a junior at LCHS but today (May 16,2007) is the seniors last day of school. As we all drove in the parking lot this morning, our assistant principles golf cart that he drives around the student parking lot to monitor student activity had been " tee-peed" with a banner on it that said "PRANK ON HANK" which is Coach Wrights first name. The wheels on the golf cart had been taken off and it was sitting on bricks. Everyone will remember coming into the parking lot and remember seeing the infamous golf cart. gotta love our seniors!

One of the best senior pranks ive ever seen was the one my class did in 87 me and a couple of my good friends had took an auto class as seniors and the night before graduation we took our principles VW bug took the thing apart so that it was in small enough peaces to carry through the door of the schoool and then we reasembled it while it was in the hallway so then he wasnt able to drive it back out because the doorway was too narrow. lol
Posted by John  on  Thu May 17, 2007  at  12:23 AM
My school administrators told a few of us that we could play a senior prank but they would have to be there to supervise (like an official school function-yuk). We ended up not doing a prank at all because they also told us that there would be 24 hour survalence.
