Half Of The High School Senior Class At This School Was Suspended For Their Senior Prank
The administrators of Comfort High School located in Comfort, Texas, are coming under fire for a decision they recently made involving half of their senior class.
Pretty much half of the graduating class was involved in a senior prank.
Some of the students had put plastic forks in the school’s football field, while other students got into the high school and left mementos inside.
The students inside the school saran wrapped some things, hung streamers, rearranged furniture, sprayed silly string, and blew up balloons before leaving.

Steely Lott, a parent living in Comfort, took to Facebook to explain in detail what the kids had done for their prank.
“Thursday night, a group of seniors went to the school to fork the football field for their senior prank,” Steely wrote.
“But then a smaller group went into the school afterward (while others left) and put balloons and streamers everywhere, sprayed silly string, Saran wrapped some stuff, and moved furniture around.”
“A student left a rock in one of the doors so that they could get in, and nobody (admin or any staff) actually checked to make sure all doors were locked at the end of the day.”

“The school also tried to say that a printer was broken during this, when my brother said the students and teachers haven’t been able to use the printer for months now,” Steely continued.
The following day was Senior Skip Day, and Steely noted that nothing really happened to the students that day.
When the kids returned to school on Monday after the weekend though, the principal and vice-principal of the school called a meeting with the pranksters.
“During this meeting, ALL students got suspended (no matter how they were involved,” Steely explained.
“So the kids who only forked the field received the same punishment as the kids who broke into the school that night), they all got ISS for two weeks, they have to take all their finals, they aren’t allowed to participate in any senior activities next week, and (most recently) they’re out of NHS until the advisory board decides otherwise.”
Many parents were outraged that the kids received harsh punishments for things that weren’t malicious or damaging to the school’s property. “Harmless” was how Steely described what the kids did.
