What started as a harmless senior prank at Ridgeview High School quickly turned into a nightmare that has the entire town talking. A group of seniors had planned to sneak into the school overnight and rearrange furniture in the classrooms as a lighthearted joke. But somewhere along the way, the plan took a dangerous turn.
According to witnesses, a few students decided to take things further—blocking hallways with stacked desks, covering floors with cooking oil, and even setting off the fire alarm. By morning, the once-fun prank had become a safety hazard, forcing the school to close for the day.
The incident resulted in thousands of dollars in property damage, and one staff member suffered a broken arm after slipping in a hallway. Local police are now investigating, and several students may face suspension or even criminal charges.
Parents and teachers are using this as a teachable moment—reminding students that pranks can quickly cross the line when safety and property are at stake. What was meant to be a memorable send-off for the graduating class may now be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
