Our high school years are full of memories, good and bad.
Pep rallies, homecoming, prom, first dates, school plays.
And, of course, the senior prank.
That risky endeavor to leave a lasting mark on your time at school, and show that you're graduating with a vengeance.
Always guaranteed to result in a combination of laughter, tears, and screams, from students and teachers alike.

A Truly Influential Teacher
"I didn't participate in one as a student."

"To be fair, I prank the students all the time."
"And this student hasn't seen my own car."

Instant Gratification
"We drew the school logo using instant mashed potatoes."

"Our school had a ban on senior pranks so something with no evidence allowed no one to get in trouble."- jdog7249

"The Greatest Teacher, Failure Is!"
"Our school had a principal who was this bitter little old woman, and behind her back, people called her 'yoda'."
"At graduation, we had the faculty help arrange for an unstuffed teddy bear with our class year on it."
"The wholesome plan was to have each student give the principle a cotton ball when they accepted their diploma, and then the last student would give the bear to be stuffed."
"You know, tradition stuff."
"The day of graduation, the last student goes up to the stage, and instead of handing over an empty bear, he gave her an empty Yoda plushie."
"All the students erupted in laughter, and none of the parents understood why."- Necessary_Soft_7519
