In my civics class (~1993) there was a kid who was normally in the "special needs" classes, but for some reason he was in this class with us. He and the teacher would sometimes get into yelling at each other and arguing. One day the kid is standing in front of the class while he and the teacher are yelling at each other. They are both in each other's faces standing there when the kid goes to swing his foot and try to kick the teacher. The teacher tried to swing his hips backwards to avoid being kicked and he only needed about a millimeter more to avoid it. Unfortunately, the kids foot kicked the button off the teachers pants (he wasn't wearing a belt) and the teachers pants fell down around his ankles. At this point, the kid bolted out of the room and the teacher was trying to pull up his pants and chase after him at the same time and kept tripping over himself. Yeah, good times!

A kid known for doing crazy stuff put a stick of dynamite in one of the toilets in the girls bathroom. It blew the whole toilet apart. The teachers didn’t know what the explosion was at first so we were all evacuated until the fire department got there. We were seniors and the person who did it was 18 anf therefore an adult. We didn’t see him for the rest of the year because he went to jail.

Oh boy, I've got two. The first is when our teachers literally all called in sick because they wouldn't make masks mandatory. They all just didn't show up and we didn't have school for three days. It was wild. Really brought covid into perspective. The other was the time one of my highschool teachers got arrested for having sexual relations to a student. It had been going on all four years of her highschool career and everyone found out once he got caught. She kinda lost all her friends over that one.

I can think of two "crazy" stories from my high school but they're both kind of sad and/or alarming.
The first was when the very popular physics teacher was arrested and everyone found out it was because of domestic abuse.
The second was when a girl had to get her leg amputated. There was a senior party with drinks and possibly drugs and a girl got pretty inebriated. From people at the party, they said she was sitting on a glass table outside and it collapsed and severely cut through her leg. She first had under her knee amputated but because of further problems, she ended up having to get the rest of the leg amputated up to her thigh. It was pretty sad, it happened only a few months before graduation so it was one of those topics that everyone talked about.

One morning before class I looked out the window of the classroom door to see a mouse coming down the hall along the base trim looking for somewhere to disappear. The first place he could disappear out of the hall was the girl's restroom. So I watched for the ensuing chaos. Sure enough the restroom emptied. Not sure which got more screams the mouse entering or the girl, who lived on a farm, dispatching it with her foot.

Had a friend / acquaintance who showed up high as a kite (on acid) for racquet sports. We were indoors that day and I took him with me as my badminton partner, so he wouldn't get busted. While we played he just stood there watching the ceiling and I played pretty much alone against the other team, which worked out alright. At the end we had to build down the nets etc. and grouped up with the teacher to get released. That's when I realized I'd forgotten the dude, who was still standing there across the gym watching the ceiling :D. Somehow the teacher wasn't interested in the fuss and let him go with a pretense "he isn't feeling well". Weird stuff happening in the states, back in Germany we at least only had kids smoking weed.

One year in HS, had an older French teacher that spoke French with a German accent. Every week we listened to recordings of chapters of a story, Suivez La Piste!, and then had a quiz about it. But since these were done by actual French people, we couldn't understand them, and always did poorly on the quizzes. Right before Xmas break the teacher left us to play "French Bingo" while she gave tests to a couple of students in the language lab. While she was out, someone found the quiz book and we wrote down the answers for all the chapters. When school resumed after the break, we all started getting 100% on the quizzes. It drove the teacher CRAZY. She would walk up and down the aisles saying, "I KNOW you're cheating", because our averages on the tests were like 50% previously. But we all kept our eyes on our papers. She never figured it out. She retired a couple of years later. Luckily she didn't diminish my love of the language and I had much better French teachers after that.

A kid in my geography class the other day had his shoe stolen and thrown on top of a shelf. He decided to get it by standing on a rolling chair (already a terrible idea) and recruited another kid to help. The second kid saw it was on top of a poster taken off the wall and pulled it down to get the shoe down. He didn't know, however, that the other kid was holding onto this poster for support and ended up making the other kid fall off his chair. When the kid fell of his chair he fell on top of the other kid and launched his chair across the room. The teacher just stared at them with the most disappointed face ever (keep in mind, this was a college level class) while the rest of of completely lost it.

I was in a 8 science class back many years ago, the teacher was soft and had no real control over the lesson and class. There were two boys in my class who didn't like each other and get, this boiled up through the year until it reached a climax in this one lesson. One of the boys grabbed the fire extinguisher and went to hit the other boy with it, it was a blue powder extinguisher, instead of hitting the other boy he dropped it, cracking the extinguisher and filling the room with powder, this powder burnt the back of your throat. The room was evacuated and the class was cancelled the two boys were called to the head teachers office, and the boy who dropped the extinguisher was suspended for a week. Great class, good memories.

i have several stories :D (keep in mind i went to highschool in switzerland)
in my junior year our chemist teacher f*cked up while preparing a class and he kinda blow up the lab.. nobody was hurt except for his ego because he was a 'real' chemist before he became a teacher. the lab wasn't useable for the rest of my school time
our school was in this very old building (build in the 19th cent.) and kinda shapped like the whitehouse with a big staircase in the middle of the building and one very small staircase in each wing
in my last school year we had a fire alarm test that went wrong. when the alarm went off the fire doors closed immediately and most of the students had to leave the building thourgh the small staircases in the wings, which was way to small for all those students. a smaller part was trapped because of the closed doors. the chaos was perfect when nobody knew where the meeting point was. if there had been a real fire a lot of students would have died and the fire department was puzzled how this could happend.
also in my last school year some freshmen tried o burn something in the school toilet and the result was, that the fire alarm didn't went off at all.
and my french teacher was an old perv (like super old). as a girl you just had to show some skin and a bit cleavage and your grade got better. i'm not proud of it but my french grade got better aswell sometimes...
and i have even crazier stories from my junior highschool years in germany... that school was f*cked up

Not in high school, but in the 7th grade, 2 boys were fighting. Don't know the reason, but I've never seen a fight like that before or since. The blood on one of the boy's white t-shirt is a sight I have never forgotten and this was about 40 years ago.

Another one: Same grade. One of the boys that was in a gang; and back in my days, you could tell the gang members because they wore top notch clothes. He was found in the truck of a car at the age of 25; yup dead.

My group of friends normally played Board or Card games during our Lunchroom Study Halls. We were playing Spoons this time and two of our friends were fighting over the last item in the middle. A plastic spoon. One of them, Travis, broke said spoon and tried to stab it in our other friend’s back because the struggle triggered his PTSD. Needless to say we broke it up and teachers came over. Colin was pretty pissed at almost being stabbed.. That’s the last time we played Spoons.

Someone got ‘curb smilied’ in a fight, that was disturbing. Football initiation usually ended up with a few players kicked off the team every year. I’m sure there is a lot more I’m forgetting

2 stories, but same subject matter, pre-Kardashian era.
Freshman year (at a predominantly white, non-secular school) I was called horse-ass by a guy and soon everyone was calling me that. I was horrified and got really depressed. I transferred schools for the rest of high school to a public school. My senior year I was a teachers aide in a science class (I was also taking 3 other AP science classes.) I was sitting on a stool with my back to the door and someone came up to me and whispered "I'd recognize that a$$ anywhere" turned around and it was my physics teacher. Never went back to physics for the rest of the year and got an A.

This was about 1988 and we had an arsonist. Not just a regular arsonist but a daily arsonist. They first burned down the greenhouse the agriculture kids used overnight. Then they started throwing Molotov cocktails into wings of the school. This was every day. Months of having to evacuate the school daily and wait outside in the cold and rain for hours while the fire people rushed in. Sometimes it would be the special education wing, another time it was the language department then in a minor day it was just a garbage can.
This was all over the news, we made lots of nervous jokes about it. The literal FBI was called in and had special agents patrolling the hallways in suits with earpieces. A few students guys thought it was funny and would dress like the agents. We had the locks on our lockers taken off and Zero, no matter what, bathroom breaks but the school kept being set on fire.
My friends and I eventually would just go to my house and hang out since I lived close and it was in February when all of this began.
One day they just stopped but they never caught the people/person. There was a rumor that it was a kid who’d dropped out and would come up to the school and do it, but nothing ever happened.
Silver living at the end, with all the insurance money from extensive fire damage, we got a really fancy new theater and repairs made so our school looked far better. I wish I could add photos because my old yearbook has drawings on the inner cover with kids roasting marshmallows next to the burning fire, the god dressed like the FBI and funny bumper sticks some kid had custom made.
Now whenever I meet someone my age who went to school at the same time as I did (late 80’s) but at a different school they always bring up the fires. No one was hurt so it’s all just a bizarre joke to us in our teen years.
If my kids school was being bombed and set on fire daily, people would be flipping out, but it was the 80’s and that’s just the way it was

My friends and I were not in the rebellious crowd and pretty much blended into the background. Except this one day. We were bored and one of the lads knew his parents weren't home. So at lunchtime we walked down to his house and he pulled out this home brew of his dads. Well, we had a good old drink of this rancid ale and returned to school. We all kept our heads down except this one lad. He was on his way to his first lesson and the head of year stopped him to ask if he was ok. He wasn't ok. He projectile vomited all over the poor man. Then, he was too drunk or too stupid to keep his mouth shut and we all ended up getting a jolly good telling-off. We never did that again.

One morning just before lunch the principal came over the PA announcing that all students would be sent home at the end of the current period. Ok weird… found out next day from both an announcement and in home room from friends that were in the class that the shop teacher had a heart attack mid class and died before they could get him to hospital. I guess they didn’t want kids milling around with cops and an ambulance around.

Well the teacher snapped and called the black kid... You guessed it, the N word. This was in the early 90's and it was a massive shock to everyone in class. The black kids father was notified who came to the school with a baseball bat, he didn't find the teacher but we never saw the French teacher again.

At my high school the girls always smoked cigarettes and often pot (which was illegal then) in the girls' bathrooms, especially the ones in the main building that had the cafeteria and auditorium. It was so bad sometimes that you could see the smoke rolling out the door when it opened. For some reason, not much was done about this. Sometimes a teacher would come in, and the girl nearest the door would yell, "Teacher!" and everyone would drop their smokes in the toilet, but that's about it unless the teacher actually saw you with a smoke in your hand. Then maybe you got detention or sent home for the day, but never anything very serious.
