45 hilarious school photos that'll go down in school history

School isn’t just about books and getting an education. It’s also about the people you meet. The students and teachers are what bring schools to life. In this case, they brought that life right into their yearbooks.

Check out these school photos if you need to remember why we put up with it all.

You won’t regret it.

#1 Skipping picture day

One of the teachers was absent on picture day. She probably thought she would be safe that year when it came to the yearbook. She was so wrong.

#2 The gym teacher

The gym teacher had a unique sense of humor. He didn’t let picture day slow it down any.

#3 Your teachers

The teachers are the people who set the mood for the whole school. In this case, it might not be an entirely serious mood.

#4 Always the same

This teacher used the same photo for ten years. However, it didn’t end there. He also used the same marker.

#5 The English teacher

This school’s English teacher couldn’t bear the thought of another ordinary yearbook photo. It seems that he solved that problem, even without being a math teacher.

#6 The history teacher

This history teacher rules his school – literally, if you believe what it says on his crown. He’s just keeping history alive.

#7 There’s always one

We expect some random kindergartner to insist on dressing up as Batman on picture day. This is that kid, all grown up and teaching English.

#8 A statement

To be fair, it’s not his fault if the school insisted on first initials, and that’s actually his last name. But is that really what happened?

#9 Slightly more subtle

The previous student isn’t the only one expressing his feelings when it comes to school. They’re starting younger every year!

#10 These two

Many students find a best friend while they’re in school. These teachers found each other.

#11 Smooth

When you don’t know what to put in the yearbook, sometimes this is the result. Do you think the line worked on anyone?

#12 Gabe

Gabe started high school just like any other student. However, the years seem to have changed him ever so slightly…

#13 A different perspective

This is Bill, one of the science teachers at a high school. Bill likes students to see things from different angles. This was the one he chose for his photo.

#14 Abuse!

Teachers are supposed to set a good impression. These two didn’t get the memo. We wonder if they ended up in the principal’s office over this.

#15 It’s everywhere

Teachers get bored after years and years of teaching the same material. They need to do something to entertain themselves. Picture day becomes a creative outlet for some.

#16 Oops

The teacher in charge of the Just Say No Club didn’t think to give instructions on what not to wear on picture day. This kid with the “yes” shirt doesn’t quite fit in.

#17 Miniature student

They had to include his hair in the school photo. The result is comical.

#18 A small error

Mistakes happen, but this teacher is obviously not Teresa. In fact, if we can trust the yearbook at all, his name is Ben.

#19 The mustaches

According to the students at the school, this was not planned. Mustaches were just a favorite among the faculty that year.

#20 That teacher

There is always one comedian among the ranks. We think we have located him.

#21 Nguyen

What do you do when you all have the same last name? Have some fun with it, of course!

#22 The Brady faculty

There are only so many things that you can do with standard portrait photos. They found a way to break up the monotony.

#23 Facepalm worthy

Mistakes like this do genuinely happen sometimes. We just don’t know if it was on purpose or not in this case.

#24 Making mom mad

School is a place of rules, but once in a while, it offers a chance to break different rules – the ones imposed by parents. This student took full advantage of that opportunity.

#25 Bad hair day

What do you do when you’re having a bad hair day and don’t want to be there for your own photo? This. You do exactly this.

When Superman went to school, he had to hide his alter ego. Bryan is not experiencing that problem.

#27 Deep

There is so little that we really know about each other. We still know pretty much nothing about Jason.

#28 Picture day

Picture day can be hard when you’re in a good mood. It’s even worse when the photographer keeps telling jokes.

#29 Following instructions

They asked him for a quote for the yearbook. He quoted a commercial. Technically, it is a quote.

#30 Profound

It really can be hard to decide what to put in the yearbook. After much contemplation, this was what Bradley settled on.

#31 Brothers

Siblings have a way of taking over your life. They take your clothes, borrow your friends, and sometimes you just know they’re also going to steal your quote.

#32 When you want to be an actor

When you want to be an actor or model, there aren’t always a lot of chances to showcase your talent. This student decided the yearbook was one opportunity.

#33 Who?

We can’t see this student. He can’t see anything at all. We wonder what his parents thought of the photo.

#34 A recipe for success

When you have to write a long quote and can’t think of anything, what do you do? This guy’s answer is cutting and pasting a recipe for pancakes. Who doesn’t like pancakes?

#35 So smooth

I don’t know about you, but I think that line might actually work. Maybe…

#36 Twins

There are a lot of advantages to being twins. For one, you get to make yearbook jokes that no one else can.

#37 Dale Irby

This is Dale Irby. He wore the same outfit every year on picture day for forty years.

#38 Too much touching

These teachers have entirely forgotten what personal space is. At least they still remember how to keep the yearbook from getting too boring.

#39 When you pay extra

You can get a lot of little extras on picture day if you are willing to cough up the cash. These teachers are proof of that.

#40 Mom

Before the kids even get to school, there are already cameras involved. Here’s a first day of school photo. Mom seems happy.

Well, would you trust the good brother or the one who thanks THE METAL? Choose wisely.

#42 Bad hair year

There are legitimate reasons for missing picture day. This is on the top of the list.

#43 Honesty

It takes a lot of support to get through school. It helps when our friends and family are there for us. Google and Wikipedia might also play a part.

#44 How?

How does this even happen? We spot another comedian in the making.

#45 These two

When you know you are going to end up next to each other in the yearbook, so many options become available. This is what these two chose to do.
