One of the teachers was behaving very inappropriately towards his female students. We at the school newspaper wrote a story about it. It was censored by the principal. The journalism teacher argued that our paper was a forum for student expression and could not be censored by the school. The principal disagreed. There was a big hubbub about it and in the end the story didn’t run. The teacher in question was also the town sheriff, so that might have had something to do with it.

I was the controversy. I was in high school when the first couple school shootings happened, and being a strange child they were so worried about me doing something dirty so they threw me in a class with an undercover cop. By the time I left high school most of the other kids in that class were arrested. My junior year the school requested I drop out. I had trouble with a lot of the teachers, they didn’t like me and it was noticeable. So I took the suggestion, dropped out and went in to get my g.e.d with an A- average. Went to college, and graduated with a B average. It’s insane that they tried to pin me as being a problem, when the real problem was how I was treated.
Saw that cop that ran the class after graduating college the first time and he was surprised I was alive.

Over winter break my freshman year math teacher got caught meeting what he thought was a 12 year old boy at a McDonald’s the next state over. Trunk had lube, condoms, wine coolers, the whole nine yards.
The worst part was, I found out I wasn’t actually an A student in math, I think he just had a crush on me.

Favorite teacher in the school was fired for having illegal substances in his classroom. But it wasn’t his
He let baseball players keep their bags in his room if they were in his home room. Detector dogs came in and cleared the room. He took the fall even after it was known it wasn’t his
The baseball playing student was the most hated kid in school until graduation.

Saw a young male student swing on an older female teacher. She whooped him good but in the end, lost her job. That kid was a real piece of work and it was fun to watch him get what he deserved.

Kids used a keylogger to capture a teacher login to the online grading system. They started charging kids to change their grades in certain classes they had access to. Eventually, a teacher noticed some of the grades changed and alerted administration. Police were involved, it ended up being a pretty big deal. The kids behind it were pulled out of the school system before they could be expelled.
Pretty sure they went on to Ivy league schools, some of which praised them for their clever discovery.

Really popular male teacher – early 30s, everyone’s best friend – was sleeping with female students in his classroom on his desk. His door had a lock and a garbage bag over the door slit window, which we all found weird. He said it helped him focus when marking.
Eventually one of the girls grades were so bad that her parents started questioning her about it, and she basically confessed that her mental health was in the dumps because the teacher was sleeping with her, without protection, multiple times a week.
Once the school found out, the teacher was placed on leave, and all of a sudden all these other girls came forward as victims (privately, but scuttle spread quickly across the school). Must have been 8 or 9 in total by the end – turns out he was having them perform intimate acts with multiple different students.
Was quickly charged and convicted after a guilty plea.

Three kids in my high school English class were at a party and a girl from a nearby school OD’ed at a party they were all at. They were scared of getting in trouble doing illegal substances so they waited until the morning and dropped her dead body off at the ER and ran. One of them went to juvenile jail for providing the illegal substances to her.

My (private) high school was shut down because of the biggest political corruption investigation in my country. Turns out the school was laundering money for corrupt politicians.

I was sent to a Christian private high school, so it was whenever some girl got pregnant.
I also caused a very behind-the-scenes controversy among the school’s staff by refusing to sign an abstinence pledge in class. I told the teacher, in the most polite way possible, that what I do is not anyone’s business and that they can kindly get lost.

Take your pick:
– Several students from the same family didn’t feel like writing June exams and burned my elementary school down nearly 50 years ago
– Grade 1 teacher was a vicious nun who beat a kid for accidentally peeing her pants – my little sister
– Grade 6 teacher was a predator who would invite boys to his house – I was one of the ones he tried to invite, never went; he also would barge in when male students were changing and tell them to ‘hurry up’.
– High School art teacher went to jail for grooming and exploiting a female student, starting when she was 13.
– Local High School teacher forced into retirement after posting private picks to a public social media account
– all in a Midwestern town.

Whether or not guys could have long hair (this was in the 60s). School said no; kid and his parents said yes. Went to the state Supreme Court and they ruled against the school.

We had a whole school meeting in the auditorium about these little things people were making with paperclips that snapped and felt like a bee sting when you were hit with them. Not only did it raise awareness of the thing throughout the entire school, they were stupid enough to show us how to make them and use them to inflict bee stings.

I think i told this story somewhere on reddit before, but anyway….
Our principal at the time was a cool dude. Big supporter of the arts programs, super involved with everyday operations. Dude spent more time in the halls and classrooms with teachers and students than in his own office. We’ll the head of the school board hated this our principal . Apparently they would have screaming matches at school board meetings.
One of the teachers reported one of the vice principals of harassment and possible stalking after hours. The same day our principal learned about it, the school board head did too. He decided the principal was not taking it seriously enough and pretty much forced him into early retirement. This was seriously messed up cause he was the sole provider for his terminally ill wife and was apparently like a year away from reaching some goal he had planned for her (never found out if he made it happen).
Well the day we learned, he gave this 10 minute super passionate speech over the intercom, not about his termination, but how about how much he believed in all of us. Dude had teachers crying mid day. After it was done, none of the teachers kept up with the day. They all rushed to the office to figure out what was happening. No one taught any lessons, just straight up started telling the students all the drama above. Apparently 4 teachers just straight up packed their stuff and walked out. 2 or 3 others handed in a proper resignation by the end of the week.
Now in the same day, a different vice principal was in the middle of expelling a student, parents and a resource officer in the meeting. That ended up boiling over and the student and her dad started fighting the resource officer. I swear they had every cop in the county swarm the school cause they ended up having to hog tie both the girl and her dad. The day ended a bit earlier with officers escorting each individual class room the the school buses to leave.
Edit: ive always been a lurker on here (hence the low karma) thank you for my first ever awards for talking about my old high school! Definitely don’t miss it, but it makes for good stories 😅.

Our vice prinicipal used our schools fundraising money that was for extracurriculars, dances, new equipment, etc.. and bought a dozen fancy custom embroidered jackets for themselves and a select few of the faculty. Apparently each jacket was +$400 due to the complexity of embroidering the school’s logo onto the back, as well as personalized names.
None of the other staff knew they were doing this, or that they had used the school’s event money for it. Some teachers who were gifted these jackets were horrified, they didn’t want this.
He didn’t get into any work trouble. Some teachers kept and wore their jackets, we had less events that year. Parents, students, and other staff were dismayed but ultimately powerless to punish him.

There was a cafeteria fight during which a woman student took off her high heel shoe and struck a guy on the head with it while he was fighting another guy. Maybe not controversial but certainly unforgettable, given the fact that it happened almost 50 years ago.

On my last day of senior year, the guys in my grade brought in water balloons. One of them told the vice principal that he had “plastic explosives” in his backpack and refused to let him look when asked. The school went into explosives threat mode and all of us were made to go home early.

A girl wrote a ‘burn book’ about everyone. Something written in it got back to the popular girl and the school got involved. As far as I’m aware, the ‘burn book’ was then flushed down the toilet.
I remember it being a really big deal and the school were very serious about it.

Our head Phys Ed teacher had not one but TWO pregnancy scandals
– He got the girl’s phys ed teacher pregnant (both were single) during my senior year.
– He ALSO got a senior in my graduating class pregnant during senior year.
this second one came to light just before graduation so I have no idea how it all turned out.

Someone went around all year and would p**p on the hoods of students cars, in the school parking lot and in their driveways, with a note that just said “stop bullying Joel”, so obviously it was Joel doing it, but he never got caught, he did continue to be bullied.
