For many, high school is one of the most (if not the most) colorful years of their lives. Some met the love of their life and experienced their first kiss, while others made lifelong friends. 

But for these people, it was a time when they witnessed such a disgraceful scandal that it remained fresh in their minds for many years. They spoke about it in a recent Reddit thread, where they shared stories about teacher-student relationships, unwanted pregnancies, and illegal activities that could easily be a plot to a crime thriller. 

If your high school experiences were anything similar, we’d like to hear about it in the comments below.

50 People Look Back On The Biggest Scandals That Rocked Their High School Years It was the mid 90s and It was a huge deal at my Catholic school. The editors of our school news paper were ordered not to print a LBGT article by the administration. They printed the paper with the article included but redacted. They did a sit in in the main hall of the school, Tape over their mouths with censored written on it. 30 years later and I can still see them sitting there. .

I agree, even though all of my children attended Church of England Primary schools. They were never this strict, though and taught the children to be tolerant of everyone.

    Person being handcuffed outdoors, highlighting messed up school incidents involving arrests and discipline issues. Teacher in middle school went out on leave to have a baby. Her replacement was so liked that they hired him on to be a constant teacher's aid, and if someone called off, he was the first sub for any class.

    It was also his first job at a school, right out of university, so he was as young as he could be. A lot of the middle school girls (12-15 years old) looked up to him as a "mature hottie." I heard some disturbing things.

    You can probably see where this is going.

    Two girls got into a rather violent fight, clothing was ripped, hair was ripped out, blood was drawn, this wasn't just knuckles to faces until someone stopped, they were fighting to k**l.

    Turns out he was sleeping with both of them, and they both thought they could keep him all to themselves until they turned 18 and got married. So, instead of getting mad at him, they got mad at each other for moving in on what they viewed as "their man."

    Shortly after the fight was stopped, the principal sat them down and asked them to work backwards down the timeline to figure out who started it. So the dude was walked out in handcuffs less than 15 minutes after the fight started.

    We had a hot young male teacher start at my high school. He was openly stalked by groups of teen girls who made inappropriate comments and openly flirted with him. He quit 6 months later after being groped by 3 teen girls after their group of friends surrounded him in a stairwell. The 3 girls were expelled and charged with SA. Their friends also got into a lot of trouble.

    Our P.E. teacher Mr Powell in year 11, I was 15/16 years old. Was marched out of the school in handcuffs during lunch so a lot of people saw. Found out later he slept with 3 girls ranging from 12 to 15 and got one pregnant he was a 35 year old man with a wife and kids. The girl he got pregnant spilled the beans to her parents when she was showing her weight gain due to the pregnancy. It was a huge thing for a week or two in the news. One of other girls came forward as well, one was found but was convinced she was in love, sadly. All 3 girls transferred schools, thankfully there identity was kept a secret as they were minors, we knew though. Pretty f**ked up all round, so I'm not surprised at all.

    I want to be shocked but we hear it so much. My senior year i was 17 in1990and didn't realize a young male student teach was kind of hitting on me until I got older. He was tall and had a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. I never liked men with facial hair but I would say he was attractive from what i recall. I had my glow up at 14 and he would compliment my hair or clothes where other students could hear and they would make "oooh" sounds. He didn't do that other girls and I was the shy one in class. I had a lot of bad shít going on and I was just trying to make it to graduation. I could have been very susceptible to someone like that because my parents didn't check my grades, I had a car, was in an abúsive on/off relationship. If it wasn't for my priority getting thru cosmetology that we took for free at our school who knows. These men and women are awful.

    50 People Look Back On The Biggest Scandals That Rocked Their High School Years Ultra conservative, very homophobic and xenophobic, super egotistic US government teacher. Encouraged people to debate with him, then when he was losing the debate he'd send the students to the office. He couldn't be fired because he had tenure and they'd need a really good reason other than him being a super selfish a****t. Not even the teachers liked him.

    He bragged about his wife and kids all the time, taught things as if they were undeniable fact because he had documentaries to "prove it," and it was super easy to distract him from actually teaching because all you had to do was ask him about his life and he'd spend the entire 40-minute lesson talking about...himself.

    He left his wife and kids for a man.

    At my HS, similar thing happened (can't remember if it was girls basketball or volleyball though). Coach wasn't married, but he and the girl were together for her entire senior year. Everyone swears they didn't do anything until she was 18 but IDK. The day of graduation, right after the ceremony, he and the girl moved in together. I've heard they are still together 26 years later, so good for them I guess? 🤷‍♀️

    Student cheating on phone during a school exam, surrounded by papers and books in a classroom setting. There was one gal who cheated on her senior chemistry finals and snapchatted the answers to her story. Someone snitched and she got suspended. The ironic thing is that she had the reputation of being like the A+ student and I think was close to valedictorian. She was actually supposed to speak at graduation but they didn’t let her.

    Coach in a blue shirt watching a school baseball game, capturing a moment of a messed up school incident. Baseball coach got fired for making the moves on some of his team members.

    This was one of those “so obvious” situations with more red flags than the Chinese embassy.

    He was known to shower with the team.

    He hosted unchaperoned pizza parties after baseball games at his house and liked to wrestle the players shirtless after showering….

    There was an awful lot of wrestling and showering involved.

    This was back in the 1980s. Of course there was no announcement or communication. He just “wasn’t there anymore” one Monday morning and nobody said a word.

    Within the last few years a woman id worked with got herself in a mess. She worked in the community and was just genuinely, generally loved by everyone. Nice woman, good mom, hard worker. Well she snapped. She says the above and hazing of this sort is going on at our school and her boy was hurt, badly. No one believed her, said she was crazy so she went a little crazy. I cant remember exactly but i know forcing the male ring leader off the road to "talk" to him was part of it. She gets arrested. Goes to the hospital. Still trying to get someone to believe her about all the boys that were hurt. Ends up stabbing a nurse with a pen when they were attempting to sedate her, gets send to the mental institution. It all came out what she was saying was true. I saw her out the other day. She was as beautiful, sane and sweet as ever.

    A quick search tells me that this would be ages 17-18. Not really that unusual, historically, although when I grew up in the UK with both age of consent and school leaving age of 16 most such would no longer be at school, so the 'scandals' were when 14 and 15 year-olds were having babies.

    When my little brother was in 5th grade (usa so 5th grade is around 10/11 years old), he had 2 twin girls in his class. One of them ended up pregnant. I don't remember what came of it because I was a Jr or Sr in high school (between 16 and 18 yo) and my parents were old school and didn't discuss anything with 'us kids' if it didn't pertain directly to us. So I don't know if she had the baby or terminated (I hope she did. That's way too young to put a young child's body through pregnancy and birth. Life long damage, mentally and physically), kept it or gave it up. Idk if it was a little boyfriend who was the one who got her pregnant or her dad/uncle/brother/cousin/step dad/step brother/stranger/teacher... Anyone really. All I know is she was fkn 10 or 11, still a little girl, a little child. Not even a preteen. Barely outside of being a baby. Just barely stopped believing in Santa Claus. Still watching cartoons.

    Not that unusual where I grew up, in fact my old high school now has a nursery and support team exclusively for the teen parents. The teen pregnancy rates in the area have fallen drastically since the school added this despite what many believed! (A lot of people were against it assuming it would encourage teen pregnancy but it's actually had the opposite effect.) My nephews attend the school now and there are only 3 teen mums there right now, when I was at the school the average was 10/12 teen pregnancies per year group and the girls almost always had to drop out early.

    Two pairs of bare legs intertwined under a blanket on a bed, symbolizing messed up school incidents. 1) The athletic director and superintendent were embezzling funds from our massive sports program. They were caught because they were exchanging text messages on their school issued phones calling students racial slurs and saying sexist things.
    The text messages ended up coming out in court and exposed many teachers' personal business, including affairs and illnesses, etc.

    2) Our school board was being defrauded by a law firm for millions of dollars.

    3) The previous superintendent had also stolen from the school district and gotten caught.


    Meanwhile, there were several school buildings that were like, crumbling. We were rationing art supplies and sharing books while they were STEALING from us!

    4. A really well-liked and popular teacher was criminally charged for sleeping with a student. People were fighting about it for weeks.

    Surveillance footage of a person in a hoodie outside a building, related to messed up school incidents. My high school Civics teacher went inside the school building on the last day of school and was never seen again. There is video footage of him walking into the building from the teacher's parking lot, but he does not appear on the video footage from the inside of that very entrance. It’s like he literally disappeared while entering the building. He was also my junior and senior year homeroom teacher, and everyone thought it was super weird that he wasn’t in the classroom because he always got there extra early, even for the teachers. Since I knew we had to have attendance submitted to the office or we would all be counted absent, I went down the hall and told one of the other teachers so he could take our attendance.

    But yeah, he was never seen or heard from again. The police did a huge investigation and I heard (but I don’t know for sure) that the FBI got involved. As far as I know, he didn’t have any skeletons in his closet, not even a parking ticket, no enemies, no particular reason to disappear. He just suddenly stopped existing best anyone could tell. That was back in 1997.

    EDIT: I’m not sharing the details of this case due to hometown politics. I don’t live in the town anymore, but I’m still in touch with a lot of my friends from high school. Some of those friends are police officers and many of the town’s residents don’t want their town known for this. I personally disagree, but I’m being respectful of the overall population’s wishes. If my lack of detail causes you to doubt my story, that is unfortunate, understandable, and well within your rights. I’m not going to provide any more information. Have a good day.

    I call BS on this one. A case such as this would have created a lot of media coverage and yet there is nothing to be found that matches the story. The closest is a woman in Queensland, Australia: she was a civics teacher who vanished after being dropped off at a bus stop to catch a bus to the airport for a planned trip to England. OP claims that the FBI investigated, so it supposedly happened in the US, and searches turn up no information whatsoever on such an event.

    Cheerleaders performing with pom-poms at a crowded school event, highlighting memorable school incidents. The cheerleader and math teacher that had a thing going on. They very openly hung out and flirted during school. The kids were aware they were seeing each other outside of school, not sure if the adults knew. He married her the day she turned 18, *while she was still a student*.

    The shocking part? There was no scandal. No one said a f*****g thing about it, no consequences for the teacher at all.

    When I was in 9th grade in the early 90's a senior was openly dating a teacher's assistant who was working there to get his degree. Everyone knew, no one cared. I honestly didn't think anything of it at the time. She was right around 18 and he wasn't very old, maybe 21. I didn't realize it was wrong until I was older and knew teachers weren't supposed to date students no matter their age.

    A teacher got a student, the daughter of our school board president, pregnant. Did he get fired? No, the school board president didn't want the father of his only grandchild to be out of a job. (And I suspect he didn't want to be stuck with paying the kid's expenses.) In fact, the teacher was soon given a higher paying administratice job. At last answering the age-old question "Who ya gotta f**k to get promoted around here?"

    Taco Bell restaurant exterior under a bright blue sky, contrasting with the theme of messed up school incidents. We had two guys from school rob a Taco Bell and one of them ended up murdering another student who had been working that night.
    A good kid lost his life, a buddy of ours got 25 to L and the dude who committed the murder got life without parole.
    Another kid who was the “get away driver” went on the run for almost 15 years.
    It was just a messed up situation all the way around. So many heart broken parents, family members and friends.

    Went to school with a guy -kind of a "burn out" as we called them in the 80's- that knew mainly thru other friends and talked at lunch don't recall if we had classes together. Didn't see him Sr. year or at graduation and later that year he was arrested with 2 other 18yo guys, not from our school, for murder of an old man a town over. One of the guys did yard work and things and knew the guy kept a lot of cash in his house. They got caught because they went to a local car dealership and paid cash for a couple mustangs and the dealer was obviously suspicious. They're serving life. So sad for that man.It's such a safe town and i live in it now.

    Much as people want to believe that this would be a well thought out and very evil decision, I can assure you that this was the behaviour of a very disturbed and frightened mother. While it may be necessary to have court case to formally establish this fact I would very much hope that she had the psychological support she needed (which clearly she didn’t). Plus it also reads like she may have been abused to end up pregnant any way.

    50 People Look Back On The Biggest Scandals That Rocked Their High School Years We had a bmx bike riding show held in our gym for some self-esteem message, and they made an announcement at the beginning to the tune of "We are riding full speed in the hallway before entering the gym so we can do our tricks. We don't have breaks on our bikes, so do not cross in front of that door for any reason." They made the announcement a couple times because they were so worried about a student not listening. The show came to a halt when the yearbook teacher got absolutely rammed when she crossed in front of the door to get a better picture. Someone got it on video and put the clip to "wrecking ball"... it went viral around our school.

    This was back in 1981/82. Our married assistant principal was having an affair with a student, and everyone knew it.

    Once she graduated, he left his wife, moved in with the former student, and got her a job at the school.

    Everyone was stunned that not only did he keep his job, but he was able to get her a job.

    It finally came to light that the principal was stealing money from the school budget, and the assistant principal was blackmailing him.

    1994/1995 my last year of highschool, I had a classmate who aspired to be in politics. He wore a business suit and tie every day to school (this was a public HS, we didn't wear uniforms) Anyway, he was a major conservative in a very liberal leaning area. His personalized license plates on his car were some variation of REPUBLICAN, like RPBLICN. At least once a week his plates were removed from his car as a prank and hidden around campus for him to find. It pissed him off obviously but most of us just found it hilarious. ¯⁠⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

    It can be surprisingly easy to separate two fighting young men, especially if the fight is really just about a dynamic playing up. You know, the chest-thumping one. It's more about shocking them out of the dynamic - stepping between them as a small, bespectacled woman usually did the trick. Used it all the time.

    Beginning of my junior year we had a new religion teacher fresh out of college, very early 20s, her first teaching job. Small catholic school, I had her for a “morality and ethics” class. She was very nice but obviously socially awkward, probably never had a boyfriend, let us walk all over her just so we would all like her. We come back from winter break and she’s gone. No explanation from the staff or the teacher that replaced her. In the next few days through the rumor mill we all learned she had been having a sexual relationship with a senior. Not only that, he had been planning a school shooting event meticulously. Notebooks of plans, hit lists, maps, etc. He told one of his friends who immediately alerted the police and he was arrested. They found plenty of evidence at his home to confirm all of this including multiple weapons. The really wild part is the teacher was aware and part of this plan… thank god for his friend.

    Dark wooden coffin outdoors with white roses on top symbolizing tragic messed up school incidents remembrance. My American History teacher was having an affair with his teacher's aid. He even played some role in getting her several college scholarships she didn't earn. This all came out mid semester. When everyone found out and it was revealed to his family, he committed s*****e by sitting in his car in his garage with the engine running. We had a sub the rest of the semester. I've always felt like there was more to the story that never came out. It was nuts though.

    I had a teacher who was physically deformed. He was a really solid math teacher. Sadly, he was caught in a "romance for money" sting because his deformaty made him lonely. I still struggle why that should even be illegal when both parties are informed, concenting, adults. The teacher who replaced him was terrible and I'm still grateful I took the class with the one I had.

    I was in HS in the 1970s, and the big scandal that I still remember is the affair the boys' swim and water polo team head coach was having with one of the swimmers on the girls' team. Everyone knew about it, and I do mean everyone; it was one of those open secrets. I'm sure even people in the administration knew it, but since our swimming and water polo teams were very successful, they looked the other way.

    There was one exception to the "everyone knew about it" though: The coach's wife. My brother, who was on the water polo and diving teams, was present when she found out and stormed into the pool area during practice in a crying and screaming rage. She even dragged their 2 young sons along with her. From what my brother told me, it was one hell of an ugly scene.

    His wife eventually divorced him and -- hopefully -- took him to the cleaners financially. He later married the girl from the swim team. I think they got divorced later, too, but I don't recall how many years they lasted.

    [EDIT] I forgot to mention that the wife was absolutely gorgeous, and by all accounts a genuinely nice person.

    Indeed, and the reasons are pretty obvious. Young people can be easier to manipulate, easier to tempt, less risk averse and, if caught, the penalties can be relatively minor, or expunged when they reach the age of majority. Of course it all falls apart if a kid is caught and spills the beans on the adult, which explains the brutal retaliations for snitching in crime syndicates.

    Young woman looking surprised while reading a printed paper and holding a smartphone, reflecting messed up school incidents emotions. In high school we got these new laptop carts. Basically carts on wheels to hold laptops + a printer that you could roll around to different classrooms. A teacher in another room printed her emails on the cart printer by mistake. I picked them up thinking it was my paper. It was NOT.


    It was 6 pages of spicy a*s emails between the teacher and principal, both married, and not to each other! They were NASTY yall.

    Edit: I thought it was the teacher who printed them, but I found out later it was a kid in her class snooping on her computer when she left the room. He was trying to print them so he could show everyone.

    I did that but for my 6th grade HomeEc class. I was real popular at being the most unpopular kid in school, got bullied on a daily, even by the HomeEc Teacher. I don't think she realized how much I ended up hating her. Anyway, so she gave us all a cooking assignment 1 day and wanted us to turn it in the following day. She gave me fudge. I go home and told my mom (who also didn't care for my H.E.teacher) and my mom gave me $$ for my assignment. That's when I bought Chocolate ExLax. Made the fudge. Took it to school the next day. Presented my assignment to the teacher, she passed it around to the class. HomeEc was my 2nd period...B4 the end of 3rd period, the HomeEc Teacher and everyone in my 2nd period Went Home due to a mysterious stomach bug. Hmm, served them right. No Regrets.

    Several metal bolts and nuts scattered on a rough surface, illustrating messed up school incidents. I was the scandal.

    Every day at school a notice would be read “Please return the screws from the desks, you will not get in trouble, leave them at the office.”

    It was me. I was unscrewing and stealing all the desk screws…

    I had a pencil case full of screws… and no desk lid was attached solidly to a desk. It was my way of acting out due to lots of bad stuff going on.

    Close-up of a melting candle flame in a dim room, symbolizing somber moments linked to messed up school incidents. Several boys were s******l over losing their girlfriends.

    One guy shot himself.

    One guy hanged himself.

    One guy jumped off a bridge and drowned.

    The school kept it a secret.

    Unfortunately this sometimes happens. A county near us had a few years of multiple suíicdes within the same school system in weeks or months. But they're cutting funding to our schools not just eliminating the Department of Education but Ohio republicans. We can't get healthcare to cover therapy and schools can barely afford enough counselors. Bullying and school shootings have kids on edge like never before. They need help.

    I must admit I always wondered, even now 30 years later, why 🇩🇪German school system made us read stuff like "Romeo and Juliet" or "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" (ending with a s*****e of the male main character about a girl) in such a vulnerable age (15-17 years old). Like, most of us had zero or one relationship at this point, and they let us read t h i s... ? Hmmmmpf. It's really odd, IMHO. Teacher even mentioned the "Werther effect" (copycat s*****e) phenomeno, the s*****e wave among young readers after reading "Werther" when it was new. Like, if you want Shakespeare, why not The Tempest or Taming of the Shrew? ...

    ... theoretically it could have been a great opportunity to not only learn about 1) the structure of a drama and storytelling basics, or what tropes are etc but also about 2) ways to deal with ending relationships, how final life is, if sūicide is okay, how to deal with "enemies", that it might be not a good idea to "inherit hatred towards other group of people"... but t h a t topics (2)) our teachers avoided like the plague.

    Two freshman girls (one being the school s**t even by this age) and two freshman boys recorded themselves having s*x. The guys were made out to be predators, the girls were seen as victims. Never mind they were dating.

    One of the girls’ dad was a cop and went on some public blast talking about how innocent his daughter was and how she was such a victim to these aggressors and threatened to press charges etc. Blah blah blah.

    One of the boys’ dad was a lawyer.

    A year later, said dad/cop gets fired for hosting an alcohol-filled house party for his daughter and any other junior who wanted to come. Video surfaced of him doing keg stands and taking shots with 16 year olds. At one point, he whips out his wallet to say ‘Hey (Steve), run down and pick up some more vodka, we’re runnin’ low’. He knew ‘Steve’ had a fake.

    Turns out the lawyer got wind of the upcoming party, knew there’d be alcohol there, and had his son’s friend (who he knew would be there) record it pretending to just be cool about recording it all.

    So yeah, cop was fired for the bad press and in lieu of countless child endangerment charges.

    Way to ignore the part where the boys were automatically labeled as sexual predators because they were boys, while the girls, though likely complicit in the act, were automatically seen as victims. Or, the fact that, as freshmen, they were around the 14-15 age range, so legally too young to be sleeping around. Or, the fact that there was no reason to believe that either of the boys slept around a lot, and if you automatically assume they did simply because they were boys, then that would make YOU sexist against men.

    I had a teacher in 8th grade roll in the "TV cart" (yep; I'm that old) with a VHS player. It was history class and we were studdying WWII. The local news had just done an interview with WWII vets the week or two prior, and she recorded it to share with the class. So she pops in the tape, hits play, and goes back to her desk on the other side of the room. The interview starts with a nurse who walks on screen. Ok... Then the nurse starts dancing... This seems off... Then the nurse rips off her top! I've never seen a teacher turn into an olympic runner / huddler faster than that moment. She ran across the room, swiveled the TV around. Seems that her husband recorded a p**n video over her news recording. Lucky for her, internet wasn't a thing so it was a funny event, but not a career ending one.

    Person sitting on toilet holding a pad, depicting a private moment related to messed up school incidents. The day of the bloody doorknobs.

    One random day, the bell rang and we all poured into the hallways like normal, but pretty quickly it was apparent that nothing was normal.

    Someone had taped used maxi pads to every single doorknob. At least 50 used pads covering every conceivable entry point. So many that you could actually smell them.

    Needless to say, this set the crowd of teenagers into a frenzy. Teachers had a hell of time reigning them in while also being unwilling to touch the pads. After what seemed like forever (probably less than 3 minutes), a janitor appeared wearing gloves and pushing a trash cart. He unceremoniously went door by door, yanking the crusty pads off the handles, spritzing with some spray and half heartedly wiping it before moving down the hall to the next door. He looked like it was just a normal day, when we all knew it wasn't.

    The mystery naturally spread like wildfire. This was 1995, so the school didn't have security cameras yet and as far as I'm aware, the culprit was never discovered, never claimed responsibility, or made any mention of a 'message' or such. Speculation raged, with everything from a form of student protest, to a cry for attention, to a mentally ill kid playing a prank.

    The amount of pads used required a good bit of 'saving up' to prepare, and it was naturally assumed the culprit was a girl but nothing definitive was ever learned.

    We all figured it was some sort of feminist statement (height of girl power era) that they'd eventually release some sort of manifesto or other 'here's why that happened' type deal... but silence was all that followed.

    The police used to bring d**g dogs every so often to sniff lockers, kids bags etc. to make sure no one had weed or other d***s. This happened about 4 times a school year. Anyways, the dogs came one day and sniffed around. They were not successful finding any d***s on students. They were however successful in catching a substitute teacher with 1/4 - 1/2 ounce of weed on him.

But anyway, the Secret Service guy just told the dog "We're not looking for that today." 🤣 The security wasn't that great.

    Long time ago when computers in classrooms were new and "networks" were really new, our computer teacher who was also the network administrator became too trusting of his class. One insanely smart classmate learned enough from him to hack into the network and lock everyone out.

    In 2019, a kid catfished the parking attendant at my high school and got him to send full frontal nudes. He was an old guy. He was part time and his job was essentially like being a meter maid. I don’t think anyone ever got their car towed, just a really big annoying green sticker if you didn’t have a parking pass which was like $25 if I recall correctly. No one liked him obviously, it didn’t help that he wasn’t nice, but he really didn’t do anything crazy that I remember. Idk how but the kid got the parking attendant’s phone number and tricked him into sending several d**k pics, then posted the screenshots on our high school’s Snapchat story, so it was literally hundreds of people. 

    The kid got suspended for maybe 3 days. Right when Covid lockdown started, he and his dumb friend made a podcast where he laughed about it. He said he had to write a paper on internet safety or something like that. I think they took the podcast episode down pretty quickly. I hope he’s doing terribly .

    Close-up of three school lockers in dark green, orange, and gray, representing messed up school incidents. For the senior prank some enterprising students decided it would be fun to glue shut the locker bays. Fortunately they did this before school so nobody had their stuff in their lockers because the administration decided it would be too costly to fix (something about having to replace the gates) and left them glued shut. They remained glued shut for at least the next 3 years.

    My classes senior prank was messed up. There was a statue that the wood work class made in the 70s of our mascot, a lumberjack, in our middle common area. This thing was huge, like 7 feet tall solid wood, heavy as hell. This was the 2000s, so it had been there for 30ish years. For about a week, the cheerleaders sat around it at lunch and slowly removed the bolts holding it down. During an assembly, the football team snuck out and removed it, never to be seen again. Rumors went around that it was either burned or put in the lake. The admin couldn't prove who had done it so no one got in trouble. Really messed up cause of how long that thing had been there.

    Just to put that in further context— putting a mic on someone means you have to run the wire up their back, and you have to get pretty close and personal. Sometimes mics need to be hooked to the backs of bras.

    On my first day of high school (all girls school) the entire student body was called into an assembly in our gym. Our principal and vp were looking very serious. They announced that Mr. (Let’s call him Oz for the sake of the story) was arrested this morning at his new school. Well as a first day freshman I had no clue who this man was. But the upperclassmen seemed to know. Principal proceeded to explain that Oz was not employed at our school this year and worked at another school. He was arrested for having an inappropriate relationship with a student at the new school. Apparently that school started before ours and he met this girl over the summer when he was working there. The principal then asked us to respect the privacy of our senior class. Well wait why? Was he close to this group or something? Did he do something?

    The seniors then spend the rest of the week in and out of the office. My best friend’s older sister was a senior. At first she didn’t really tell us much. But one night I was spending the night at their house and the sister’s friend was there. Let’s call her Emma. Emma was a young senior. She was only 16. She was going on and on about how upset she was that her boyfriend cheated. How dare he! They’d been together almost 2 years. Naturally my friend and I get invested in this conversation. My friend’s sister walked away and Emma started telling us about her boyfriend. He was older. They were so in love. That’s why he got her a cell phone to just communicate with him. He bought her clothes. He even made sure she did well in English class. So when another girl called her and told her to check the dirty.com and said that someone else was now dating him she knew she had to call the police. Emma was older”dating” Mr. Oz. And apparently it was common knowledge.

    My friend and I checked websites and sure enough the seniors all knew. For years. They were spreading it and then one day one of them saw him with a girl at his new school. She told Emma who felt betrayed so she reported him for saying this new girl and it eventually came out that they were together. Now Emma insisted she still loves him and would take it all back if it couldn’t be proved he had another girl. I don’t think that happened. I do know Oz was guilty and spent some time in jail.

    Every girl I went to high school with knows this story. They know how he seduced her playing guitar in his room and apparently tried this with numerous girls based on what I’ve been told through the years. He was creepy and would frequently comment on girls looks and outfits.

    Thankful I never encountered him but this was one of the biggest scandals and I still think about that assembly and it’s general weirdness often.

    Oh and our art teacher was known to date students as soon as they graduated.

    Oh and my homeroom teacher Mr. W slept with the biology teacher once. He stopped talking to her and she made it her mission to have everyone hate him. She would tell us about things he told her to convince her to sleep with him and how he broke her heart.

When the police caught them, they claimed as an alibi that they had flown to Frankfurt to buy fish at the market at the time of the murder. One of them is still in prison, the other was released 3 years ago for good behavior, but we have no news about her further fate.

    Grandma used the restroom. She dragged my mom, aunt, and other grandma into the restroom to see it.

    That was an awkward few weeks.

    But here’s the coup in the story than came a decade later. My aunt is funny and worked writing for sitcoms.

    Our school charged $100 for a parking pass for the year. The parking pass was just a sticker with the schools logo with “parking pass” written under it. Me and a friend made one in photoshop and went to Staples and printed off a ton of them for like $20. We then sold them to people for $25. School was obviously very confused when there were like 200 cars and they’d only sold a few dozen passes. Someone ended up snitching and we both got pulled into the office with a cop and the school saying we owed them all the money we’d made and needed to provide a list of everyone we’d sold them to. We just played dumb and pretended we had no clue what they were talking about. Stopped selling them but that was the last we heard about it. Next year passes were numbered and when students bought one they were assigned a number so put an end to the whole thing. But between the 2 of us we made probably like 2-3000 bucks.

    I went to a very aptypical high school that was located within a much larger athletic/office building/compound run by a large legacy company. Said compound had a cafe and bar within it, and ran many different events that it catered food and drinks for, and was licensed so alcohol could be served.

    A couple kids in my grade figured out where the compound stored all their alcohol (beneath the seating of the largest hockey rink at the compound) when we were in 11th grade and managed to steal A LOT of alcohol. They probably could’ve gotten away with it but they bragged so much about their accomplishment that eventually the teachers caught wind and reported it to the larger company.

    Bizarrely, I don’t remember them actually getting in that much trouble. I think the school and company went the scare-tactics route of ‘if we wanted to charge you with theft, which we very well could, you would be in a WHOLE lot of trouble, so just don’t do it again’.
    I’m pretty sure this stunt became a local legend at the school and is still talked about 7 years after we’ve graduated lol. And sufficient to say, the company majorly stepped up how they secure their alcohol.

    This story sticks in my mind, and the other time a couple got caught having s*x in a stairwell of the compound. Strangely enough the guy in said duo was also one of the ones that stole alcohol….

    The Valedictorian started sleeping through the earliest 1, 2, and then sometimes three or four periods of school. He would sometime show up around noon, but usually by 10 or 11 am.

    The state had a mandated number of attendance days (counted in period 2 or 3, the "home" class), so he had to go to detention after school to make up a lot of days. He once showed up for band (first period) and his school instrument was being used by a sophomore. He hadn't been there in over a month I guess.

    My mother taught in a Catholic school with a principal who was a non-functioning alcoholic. But since he was a priest, the diocese did nothing about it.

    We used to go down the pub on a Friday lunchtime before double maths in the afternoon - so technically sneaking beer into a very reputable secondary school.
