We were all in high school once. If you graduated more than 10 years ago, you may have forgotten just how awkward those years are. Between relationship drama, puberty, and stressing about your grades, those four years aren’t really anyone’s favorite time of life.
So, it’s no wonder that graduating seniors feel like celebrating. Not only are they leaving high school behind, but they’re entering adulthood! Now, they can go to college, enter a vocational program, move into their own home, and explore their interests. Plus, they no longer have to sit through P.E.
Of course, as the school year winds down and graduation approaches, things get a little bit more relaxed. And that means it’s the prime opportunity for a prank organized by seniors.
Senior pranks come in all shapes and sizes. There are the classics that include filling offices with balloons, lining hallways with cups of water, and plastic wrapping the principal’s car. There are ambitious ones that include farm animals, bouncy houses, and furniture on the roof. But no matter how big or small the senior prank, it’s all about one thing: making them remember you.
Oh, and causing total chaos, of course. Were these pranks unforgettable or not enough?
What teacher could be upset at this? This senior class turned their school into a dog park for a day, bringing all their furry friends to learn — or rather, distract.
This is the worst game ever — at least, for the teachers who had to search through hundreds of balloons to find the key. It was pretty good for the students!
This class decided to move all the classroom furniture to the roof. They then added a barbecue to make it an official a party. Luckily, they had some teachers who were willing to play along.
Hopefully, they returned Mr. Perez’s tire after the initial shock. If I were Mr. Perez, I would laugh, but only for a little bit and only if my tire came back pronto!
Sometimes, you don’t need a complex prank to gain attention. These seniors decided to engage in a little juvenile humor, which their school’s name made all too easy.
Some senior pranks are classics because they cause chaos — like this one, which makes sure that teachers can’t start class on time, at least not without making a huge mess.
This senior class decided to target their principal directly and decorate his office. Maybe it was a friendly prank and maybe it wasn’t, but either way, he had a big mess to clean up.
This takes dedication and a steady hand, but it’s no secret why this one is a time-honored senior prank — it creates total chaos since you can’t move without making a mess.
…well, maybe you can manage to make it through without making a mess, but only if you’re really, really careful. Of course, that derails the school day, too.
We don’t know if Mr. Myers is the principal, the janitor, or a teacher, but they got him good all the same. He’ll have to do battle with a bunch of balloons before he can get into his office.
At the end of the day, someone either had to climb very, very carefully onto this desk to disassemble this pyramid or they had to knock it over and embrace the chaos.
This prank is one that wouldn’t be appreciated for a long time. They stuck a tiny sign reading “Seniors 2018” on top of the roof, knowing it wouldn’t be discovered for many years to come. But we know!
Another classic is moving all the classroom furniture out of the school, preferably onto a parking lot or playing field so they can’t be easily accessed. Have fun sitting on the floor, everyone!
This is a sweet prank for a beloved teacher or principal. It’s a surprise, but it’s anything but an unpleasant one! We’re sure he or she loved the wholesome prank.
Here’s how to make sure everyone notices your prank: put it on the school’s main staircase so that everyone is forced to battle their way past it on their way to class.
Do you want to make all the teachers and underclassmen fight their way through a desk and string maze while you watch and laugh? Well, grab some string — it’s that simple.
Step one: coordinate with your entire class to set alarms on your cell phones going off at two-minute intervals. Step two: place the phones in your lockers. Step three: enjoy the pandemonium.
This class somehow managed to stack tires around the flagpole. Don’t ask us how they did it — their teachers didn’t know either and the seniors weren’t about to give their secrets away.
What do you do when your parents own a construction company and you have access to a crane during your senior year of high school? You commandeer the crane and put a VW Bug on the school roof, of course.
Another senior class got six cows (yes, six) and led them up to the second floor. Why is this so funny, you ask? Well, cows can walk up the stairs pretty easily, but it’s nearly impossible for them to walk down. The school had to use the elevator to evacuate the poor animals.
Another senior class filled their school pool with Jell-O, forcing the staff to drain it and then refill it. But Jell-O is only a few cents, which means they probably only spent $15 doing it!
Oh no, the senior class is playing beer pong in the parking lot! They’re minors drinking on school property! Just kidding — it’s only root beer. But they can still play root beer pong.
Time to hit the beach! This class showed up at 5:00 a.m. to start transforming their school parking lot into a beach party, complete with volleyball, music, barbecue, and bathing suits.
29. Great from a prank standpoint, obnoxious from a staff standpoint
This class managed to embed the flagpole in a VW bug. Then, naturally, they filled the car with cement and let it harden, leaving a legacy that was almost impossible to remove.
This senior class set up a jungle gym in the middle of the school cafeteria for everyone to play on during lunch. Then they donated it to a school that couldn’t afford playground material. 10/10 wholesome!
This may have been a senior prank but it derailed the day for all the students in the school. Without any desks in sight, no one could have class. Those freshmen must have been delighted!
Sometimes, all you need for a great prank is some string — well, lots and lots of string. Strategically placed in the main part of the school, it’ll cause plenty of distraction.
These seniors need to go down in history for coming up with the greatest senior prank of all time. They rented out a giant water slide and put on an outdoor water party.
Here’s how to make sure your school never, ever forgets your class: hiding 50,000 business cards all over the school. They’ll be finding those things for decades to come.
What to do if your school won’t sponsor a senior trip to Disney World? Bring Disney World to the halls of your school. After all, it’s the happiest place on earth!
Here’s another class that deserves an award for their prank ingenuity — that’s the principal’s car, and yes, it’s covered in post-it notes and plastic wrap, and yes, it’s parked in the middle of the school hall.
Why yes, this class did release a flock of chickens into the halls of the school, much to the chagrin of the teachers who were forced to chase them down.
This class decided to make their senior prank a little bit threatening. They hosted a school day Purge, prompting an all-out war complete with eerie face masks.
I think the real genius behind this sign is that it might have taken school staff a while to even notice it. And let’s be real, they might not have understood it right away, either.
Ah, the old “Pen Island” joke. But that wasn’t the only part of this class’s prank. They turned their school into an island party, complete with music and a tiki bar.
Here’s a unique one — these seniors decided to throw an enormous mock wedding in the school hallways right as classes switched over, ensuring that everyone got caught in the middle of it.
If you’re going to blow off class, do it for a great reason — like going to a tailgate party in your school parking lot, complete with music and a barbecue.
I’m assuming they just parked it somewhere where he couldn’t find it. The alternative would mean a lot of students got expelled or arrested, which is…not as fun.
What’s the polar opposite of school in pretty much every way? How about a crazy music festival? These seniors brought Coachella into the academic world.
This (obviously edited) photo was put out by a Twitter account detailing the senior prank at a local school. It sums it up pretty well — goldfish everywhere.
