Our seniors basically just made a mess. It was pretty lame. Also disappointing. This was a really good class and I expected something more creative.
It didn't happen this year, but the best one I've ever seen came from a neighboring district. They hired a mariachi band to follow the principal around all day playing music. Absolute gold.
Yeah, I remember seeing the videos people posted. It was hilarious.
Luckily the principal took it in stride and enjoyed it as much as everyone else.
Hmmm one of my favorite senior pranks that I've seen is seniors camped out in their cars in the teacher's lot so that we had to walk farther to get to school, it wasn't really disruptive at all and it was really cute to see them all bonding together before they graduate. The pranks that I don't like are when they make a mess in the school and don't clean it up, it always makes me feel bad for whoever ends up having to do the cleaning.
Our seniors put small plastic ducks everywhere they were adorable and all the kids were duck hunting all day, fun safe and nice mess
Had a class once that made super colorful cards with “Class of 2020” written on them. They put them all over the place, and four years later we are still running across them.
Sounds like my family’s Easter 🐣! 🤣
Post-it notes covering a teacher’s car… on a windy day. Not exactly a senior prank since it was done by another member of the faculty. 🤦🏽
One year my Seniors took my desk and tables and moved it into the hallway. Recreated how I left it the night before. My computer, phone, coffee cup, knickknacks, etc. I thought it was hilarious!!!!
I was laughing and taking pictures to send to my family when another staff member approach and asked if I was okay, and how disrespectful the students were. I just looked at her and told her everything was fine.
Some people just take teaching WAY TOO serious.
And… way too Seriously! 😂🤣🤣🤣

Hmmm, one of the most creative was Seniors who moved an entire computer lab, (with computers, desks, and working hooks-ups) to the roof of the building. A computer genius helped. That’s how they found out who was involved. Boring… an VW bug in center court.
A couple of students of mine COMPLETELY covered my car with plastic wrap… must’ve been a hundred or so rolls.
Wasn’t too hard to get into… razor around the door frame… but, I thought it was hilarious.
Still friends with the instigator… and this was in 1988 IIRC)!
They tried to bring a bunch of toddlers and pets. That was their prank. The principal send them all back to the house. I would have made them take care of the kids all day.
The best one I ever saw was the seniors sneaking on to their rival's football field and fertilizing their own school's letters on it. It took a few weeks to even be noticed and then was impossible to remove.
Someone let a pig into the school and we were chasing it all over the building trying to catch it. Thankfully it was a pretty harmless prank and I thought it to be rather funny myself. I'm just glad it wasn't something that involved any sort of propetty distruction.
Someone did that once at a school with three greased pigs with numbers on them…1, 2, and 4…so they kept searching for number 3 all day…or so goes the urban legend.
I did see a senior prank where they took apart every table in a teacher’s room—took off all the legs—and then left the tables laying flat on the floor in perfect classroom order. They also took all the chairs out of the room and put them in a different room. Then they waited for the teacher.
Now, the beautiful part of this is that they did it to the teacher who has OCD.
When the teacher walked in, he did turn a bit purple as he struggled to maintain his composure. But, he finally sat down behind his desk and told the kids that they better have the room back in order before the first class. True to form, a group of kids took out their tools and got everything shipshape in less than 10 minutes. Epic.
Another prank was when a couple kids took huge bags of gummy bears, licked each one, took everything off a teacher’s desk, and stuck the bears onto the desk, covering it completely with the bears. Teacher was pretty upset because of the sterilization he had to do to his desk after removing the gummy bears. Icky prank, but harmless.
Not exactly a senior prank, though did it in senior year. We tp'd our math teacher's house. We got caught and were forced to clean it up by the police, but his kids watched from their bedroom windows and ended up tp'ing his kitchen before he got up.
any senior prank where they have to ask permission from the administration is guaranteed to be weak sauce. at one school I subbed at they basically put up a bunch of post it notes and wrapped a bunch of the office chairs in plastic. LAAAAAAAAME
They do this in our district .. the senior pranks are always LAME .. admin LOVES to control everything.. 🙄
Kids cleared the furniture out of their favorite teachers classroom and put it all on top of the school roof.
Lamest - students camped out on the front lawn. The temp dropped, it rained, the kids were miserable, and we all laughed.
Best I’ve seen - admittedly saw this in the news. A parent who owned a towing company took a wrecked car with a destroyed front end and parked it against the school’s front brick wall and the students scattered matching brick over and around the car. It was so realistic that several local residents called 911 to report an accident.
Some seniors somewhere put up a ‘ Trader Joe’s coming soon’ sign in the middle of their town
