31 Senior Pranks That Helped the Graduating Class Go Out With a Bang

Historically, senior pranks have run the gamut of chaos. Some students have released thousands of crickets into the hallways, some freed a trio of goats labeled “1,” “2” and “4” and some hired a mariachi band to stalk their principal all around campus. 

But one year, a few students decided to change course completely. “The seniors at my school hyped up the prank, put posters everywhere, handed out flyers, posted daily on social media,” recalled one Redditor, adding that his classmates “installed a countdown clock” and even alerted local media in publicizing the soon-to-be prank. 

The gag of it all? There was no prank at all. “The clock struck zero,” they wrote. “Nothing.” 

This spectacular anti-joke is just the beginning — from forced snow days to cars appearing in the library, these senior pranks deserve a spot in the hall of fame — and probably the principal’s office.

rick_ts 7y ago The seniors at my school hyped up the prank, put posters everywhere, handed out flyers, posted daily on social media. Installed a countdown clock. This also grabbed the attention of the local newspaper. They arrived at the school for an article. That was for us huge news. Some seniors even gave quotes to the press. Then the clock struck zero. Everyone held their breath for wat was about to happen. Nothing. There was no prank. Fuckers.. 3.3K Award Share ...

 7y ago I heard of a prank where the students went and spray painted class of 2005 all over the school and sprayed grass killer on the football field in big letters that said class of 2005. The prank was that it was the class of 2006, they did it the week before they became seniors. So the senior class got in trouble for it but the juniors who did it never said anything until after they got their diplomas after senior year. Kinda lame, but I respect the approach. - 2.7K ...

flaflashr 7y ago Away back in '69, our class painted a 55 gallon drum as a beer can. The bottom was removed, and they hoisted it up the flagpole very fast, so that when they hit the top of the lanyard, the momentum flipped it over onto the top of the flagpole. Back then, 55 gallon drums were made of steel. Nowadays with plastic drums, it would likely be much easier. Award Share 1K ... ceejdrew 7y ago I appreciate the commitment! 168 Award Share ...
theBIZNUSbitch 7y ago My class's senior prank was passing out marbles to as many people as possible pre- graduation. When you went to shake the principals hand during the ceremony, you would pass him the marble. By the time | got to shake his hand (this was a class of about 800 and my last name was towards the end) he was surrounded by a pretty big pile of marbles. The principal was cool about it, he just laughed when I handed it to him. I have no idea who came up with the idea but it was so harmless

darklight33 7y ago The year I graduated, all the popular seniors got like 20-50 chickens and set them loose in the main building.

Bettielm 7y ago When I was a sophomore, the senior class did a typical prank on the Friday before exams (moving desks outside, filling rooms with balloons, etc.) so that we would all think that was their prank. Then, on then Wednesday of exams, they rented a camel and put it in front of the school with signs saying happy hump day! It was a fun prank: harmless, eased the stress of exams, and funny to see a camel standing alone in front of the school. 117 Award Share ...
 7y ago A few people all chipped in to buy a car clamp and clamped the car of the teacher who over sees year 14 (seniors). They then left a note on the window screen which was a riddle in old English which would lead to another one somewhere in the school (about 10 in total) until you finally got the last one which had the key to unlock it. She's not a teacher who can take joke and was furious about it especially because it was home time before she saw the clamp and had send the caretaker

send_me_rainbows 7y ago Well, my school seniors got let out like an hour before the rest of the school on our last day. So the rugby team and weightlifting kids went around and moved every single car in the carpark, and several on the roads. Picking them up, pushing them, whatever it took. Some were one or two parking spaces different, the lighter cars and motorbikes or ones they somehow got keys for were in totally different parts of the school. I had to wait for my younger sister to get out, so I got to stick around and watch
A1DickSauce 7y ago We weren't allowed to have senior pranks because we were told that if we participated we wouldn't get our diplomas and people didn't want to do that but one of my teachers told me that when she was a sophomore the seniors somehow got into the school at night (before Columbine so less security) and filled all the hallways with ball pit balls (or wherever they're called) - 782 Award Share ...

PGRBryant 7y ago There was a tradition for awhile in the small private high school of my hometown. All the classrooms of the school fit in one building. This is a small town where most everyone drives a truck. The day after winter break, in the middle of the night, a huge group of seniors would drive into the mountains and fill their trucks with snow. Then, come back, and pile that snow deep, blocking all the doors to the school to force a snow day. 371 Award Share ... thefrenchjuju 7y ago That is a prank I like. No
