A senior prank at a Texas high school went overboard this week, causing thousands of dollars in damages and forcing the school to cancel classes for the remainder of the year.
An originally sanctioned senior prank at a Texas high school took a destructive turn this week, causing thousands of dollars in damages and forcing the school to cancel classes for the remainder of the academic year.
The approved prank was organized by a small group of students at Frisco’s Memorial High School and involved sticking post-it notes all over walls. But the stunt turned into a building-wide act of vandalism, school officials said. The extent of the damage was significant enough that the high school canceled its last classes on Thursday and Friday as the campus was cleaned, cutting the year short for graduating seniors, Fox 4“Damage is estimated in the thousands of dollars and includes paint on the walls, destruction of furniture, discharged fire extinguishers throughout campus and more,” school administrators said in a letter. “Every surface on the 300,000 sq. ft. campus must be cleaned, including the walls, ceilings and floors. Frisco ISD will hold the students responsible for costs associated with the clean up,” administrators said. Staff had been at the school to monitor the prank, but once the situation got out of control, they called police and the fire department.shared on social media shows plumes of smoke from fire extinguishers filling a vandalized cafeteria as other students filmed the chaos.
