To set the stage a bit, my school population was tiny despite the district being enormous. We were 'the sticks', the boonies; but because this was also New England, the education was still pretty decent and the 'townies' per capita more progressive than what's usually expected in that kind of setting. The high school & middle school were combined in one 3-storey building. 7th grade all the way to 12; six of the most turbulent and formative years of your life all done in the same building. At any given time, the entire 7th to 12th grade population was about 550 to 600 students total; my graduating class was only 85 people.

This was truly small-town life, wherein just about nothing ever happens, either for good or for ill. In all that time, there were only really two big 'incidents' anyone in my peer group would remember, and one of them wasn't even in school.

The first incident was the one that's not really directly school related. It happened however in a house directly across the street from the high school. A couple had been going through a slow separation/divorce process in that house, with two younger daughters. The mom was keeping the house and had custody of the kids. In my 7th grade year (I think), a guy that the mom was dating strangled her to death in the basement of that house while her daughters were with their dad.
This was just huge news. There hadn't been a murder in that region- not just the town, like the whole loving school district region- in living memory. Anyone who went to middle/high school during that event will likely never forget that it happened.
It turned out to be a slight bit more personal for me, because my best friend's mom was also a divorcee, and had dated the strangler for a little while a few years before he committed the murder. She was called as a character witness to the piece of poo poo's trial because he was sketch and violent with her during their relationship. My friend at any point did NOT like discussing his mom's ex, emphatically after the murder. I am very estranged from that friend now, but I would bet he would still prefer to avoid the topic.

The second incident happened during my senior year, and was also a significant "this kind of thing just does not happen here" thing.
In the early part of spring during my senior year just shy of two months to go before graduation, a bunch of my classmates were having a bonfire kegger in some unincorporated state forest area. I wasn't at this particular party, but I knew the spot and had absolutely been shitfaced there a few times. This time the party got busted, as a few state troopers and local PD rushed in pincer-style to round up underage drinkers and their adult enablers. The scene devolved instantly into chaos, as drunk teens and consequence-terrified young adults piled into vehicles and dispersed in virtually all directions.
One of my classmates had climbed into the flatbed of a pickup that took off up a very-not-driveable footpath next to a running creek. A good bump had been hit, which catapulted her out of the flatbed and into the running creek. She smashed her head on a rock, which only concussed her; it was the fact that she got knocked out in running water that killed her. She drowned.

I wasn't there. I have the benefit of all this florid detail courtesy of a very somber all-hands assembly on the Monday subsequent to this weekend. We all had heard of this by Saturday morning via local news & gossip, but only that a classmate died fleeing a kegger. The principal decided we needed to hear the exact details of the event in a bid to scare us straight. He really wanted us to dwell on the fact that it wasn't conclusive how conscious she was as she died, drowning. Think about it.

Someone's dad pissing on a nun's head probably would've been a much better memory.

One of my classmates killed a guy, wrapped him in a rug, put him in his trunk, and drove to football practice. After practice, he then proceeded to go out and get food and drive around with several classmates with said corpse in the trunk.

When he inevitably got caught, there was a minor shitstorm of cops investigating, accusing, and generally being bastards about a bunch of kids in the school, none of whom were involved or knew anything. I think the kids that went and got food with him all got arrested, but never charged.

I'm so old that he got out on parole a few years ago.

also someone took a poo poo that was the same dimensions as a Progresso soup can. kids were clearing out of class to look at it and by the time I got to the bathroom there were about 30 girls, boys, and teachers in the bathroom just howling laughing at this unbelievable turd

In high school, the Secret Service busted a kid in the cafeteria for passing counterfeit inkjet $20 bills. The first time he did it, the bank just shrugged it off because it happens occasionally, but when fresh-looking counterfeit currency showed up again the same week, they knew something was up. The Secret Service started staking out the school and the lunch ladies started inspecting and hitting ever bill larger than $5 with one of those counterfeit detection pens, and when the dumbass kid tried pulling the same con again, they got him.

There was also some weird goth kid who smelled like floor polish and had a persecution complex who would have meltdowns and run out of classes shouting something about how "everyone is laughing at him" and "you're all going to get what's coming" when, in fact, nobody was paying attention to him at all (this was obviously pre-Columbine as nobody took his threats seriously). He disappeared one day after he snapped and tried to stab his mom, after which it came out that he also did really hosed up things at home like put a sock over his cat's head and put the cat in the dryer.

While it happened years after I graduated, someone I went to school with (who gave off skeevy vibes even as a student) became a music teacher at our old high school and within a year was fired and arrested after getting a 16 year old student pregnant and driving her to another state to have an abortion. Age of consent in that state was technically 16, but as he was in a position of authority over this kid he got charged with child endangerment, was sentenced to 6 months in jail and was barred from teaching.

e: Oh right, and some 17 year old, who was still technically a freshman, died after thinking that plastic milk crates were an acceptable substitute for jack stands while working under a car.

e2: There were a bunch of 'incidents' that caused a schoolwide meltdown in grade school, but being a smaller catholic school it was all incredibly stupid bullshit, like an 8th grader having a green highlight in their hair, or when my brother brought his books in school in a briefcase instead of a backpack. Thinking back, we also had a lot of bomb threats that resulted in the building being evacuated for half the day, and it was always on nice days. I don't think they every actually caught the person doing that. They also largely turned a blind eye to the large number of violent sociopaths that infested that place because I guess making up new dress code rules was more important.

In Middle School we got locked down once. This was like months after Columbine, so people were paranoid, but apparently it was a real thing. Apparently the father of two girls who went to our school had been molesting them, and it all came out that day at school. Somehow he found out and came to school to get his daughters. Don't know all what happened, but he was apparently arrested. Didn't see the daughters for several weeks after that either, thought they both did eventually come back to school.

In High School someone called in a bomb threat and they sent the entire school out to the bleachers on the football field. After they sent us back into class pretty much the entire student body just left.

Black Gold!

A “riot” occurred when I was a sophomore in high school. The “riot” in question was several localized fist fights around campus during lunchtime that was started by two rival gangs. It was apparently enough for the police force’s tiny chub to swell and unleash the entire swat team wearing full riot gear with with assault rifles to quell the fighting.

There was also three helicopters circling overhead, although I believe only one was police and the other two were news choppers.

School was cancelled for the rest of the day, and I had to call my mom to leave work early and come pick me up because I wasn’t driving yet. We were led out single file with the militaristic swat team to the grounds outside where my mom was waiting. I was scared shitless because I’d much sooner be part of the fighting and get my rear end kicked than to be shot by a trigger-happy cop with an AR-15 because I’d never seen so many assault rifles in one place just inches from my face.

There were rumors afterward that someone got stabbed and another got shot, but they were of course purple monkey dishwasher rumors that turned out to be lies. The principal was fired for the bad publicity lol.


At the same high school in the ‘70s, a bunch of students disassembled a VW Bug, broke into the school during the summer break, reassembled the Bug in the middle of a hallway on the third floor of the main building, and left it there for the new school year. I don’t know if it was ever true, but it sounds believable.

I have two. The first:

In my high school junior year electronics class, I had finished a powerpoint and had sent it to my teacher via email. During a day in class I was to go up and give the presentation. He told me to just open the file from his flash drive.

I hit 'm' to index through the sea of loose files to find the one starting with my name. 'm' took me to a group of files named 'Male escort pics'. I hadn't yet activated the projector so i just kind of blankly hit the down key until I found my presentation and proceeded as if my teacher's flash drive didn't have some potentially weird poo poo that you should not bring to your workplace (with minors no less). I didn't care then and I don't care now about what kind of pictures he wants to look at, but storing it like that was such a stupid and creepy thing to do. I didn't tell anybody or say anything, because if I'd been mistaken or made a rude assumption about the nature of the files then it'd be troublesome and embarrassing for everybody.

That is tame in comparison to the second:

In my senior year a friend told me to come by a first floor classroom where a teacher was building a PC. I was down, that sounded fun. Went there and sure enough, that was going on. This was for the purpose of a big three monitor flight sim setup, complete with the complicated control peripherals, relatively fancy GeForce 780 or whatever at the time.

It became a place to shoot the poo poo after class sometimes, and play with the flight sim stuff. This teacher had a pilot's license IIRC and was a physics teacher, and would explain principles related to both topics. He also had an area with electronics stuff and we'd talk about soldering, and the like.

For me there was nothing more to it than what I described above. I never noticed any other out of place students come by; everyone was in the same computer science "major" I was in and this was all relevant to topics we liked. I graduated, and other than one or two facebook messages about electronics, that was the end of it for me.

Years later in college this dropped and cast a really ugly shadow over the experience of "hanging out in the cool teacher's classroom":

In anatomy lab someone took out a cow's intestines and people played jumprope with it. Someone took a picture and it ended up on Facebook somehow. It was quickly taken down. We got a stern talking to the next day by the dean. I don't know if the people in the pic actually got punished in any way. They definitely still graduated so i guess its water under the bridge now.

One time in kindergarten a kid vomited and it looked and smelled like green poop. I will never forget that day.

At my first high school (for normal kids), someone planted a pipe bomb next to the big propane tanks at night. Fortunately the fuse failed because it was taped down too tight.

I don’t know how they figured out who did it, but the son of a faculty member was arrested (he was a junior or senior) and he ticked a lot of the boxes for a would-be terrorist: bright, weird, good at math, lived in the attic.He spent time in juvenile detention I heard, and then got a plum gig at a dotcom in the bay area.

I hope his family is doing well

In junior high some of the football players picked up the music teacher's B210 and moved it in front of the exterior door so he couldn't get out.

Guy in our class who was a major hothead got in a fight with the on-duty police officer assigned to our school and broke his jaw. I think this was junior year. We, uh, didn't see him anymore after that.

The basketball coach/math teacher took our school to the state finals my junior year, and we were on track to make it again when partway through the season it came out that over the summer he had been taking "select" members of the team to strip clubs and "accidentally" exposing himself to them . He was shitcanned, of course; the team was obviously pretty messed up but managed to make it again to the state tournament before losing in the semifinals.

Senior year also, some members of the football team trashed our courtyard and graffiti'd slogans and symbols of an upcoming opponent. So basically a false flag operation. I think they got detention or something but of course nothing that stopped them from playing.

About a decade after graduation a girl from our class shot and killed her boyfriend, who had been a class behind us, during a game of charades. This was just before he was about to testify against his mom in an identity theft trial.

Oh boy, posting!
That's where I'm a Viking!


In middle school, we had this gym teacher who was in his mid-20s that was always flirting and talking to this one girl and her group of friends. My friends and I being12-year olds we always joked that they were totally loving but other teachers never seemed to be weirded out by it, so we concluded it was just a dumb joke.

Anyways, two years later during spring break, the gym teacher and the girl he was always flirting with got caught by two bored cops walking out of the woods behind some other towns elementary school in a nearby state. They were immediately suspicious because the school was kind of in the middle of nowhere, the two of them were clearly unrelated, and when they did a pat and frisk, the gym teacher had a vibrator on him. :gonk:

Afterwards, they searched his office and his apartment and basically confirmed he had been diddling this girl for the past three years, routinely during school hours in his office. He ended up having to serve two sentences in two states, and last I heard he was out on parole living with his mother.


Also my high school used to regularly have "gang" fights. It was always funny because everyone knew it was going to happen later on that day and none of the staff/resource cops ever picked up on it. "Hey the Laotians and the Puerto Rican's are gonna all fight each other in the parking lot when school gets out. Wanna watch?" You'd hear. Which, my friends and I always turned down so we could go home and play Halo or whatever, but about half way home every time, we'd see like a dozen squad cars and the swat team van hauling rear end towards the high school.

In grade school during recess someone kicked a soccer ball and it hit a gutter downspout and it tipped over and hit a girl in the head. The building was like 3 stories tall so it was a huge rear end thing to watch slowly fall over and just bend over a girl’s head. I think she went to the hospital. She seemed like had adhd in high school so idk if it caused any long term damage.

At Sadie Hawkins my senior year, a bunch of the athletes did a dance performance to "Jump on It" wearing nothing but their boxers. They basically twerked through it/pretended to be humping each other in a conga line. It was probably about as risqué as anything you'd see at a burlesque show, but in the Midwest in the early 00s, it was a huge scandal.

The school then implemented a "no gay pretending" rule, I guess in a bid to make the gay students not feel like their sexual preference was a joke, but to me it seemed absurd because who got to be the arbiter on what was or was not "gay pretending"?
