    All the computers at my highschool had a shared drive anyone could access. Someone put an executable for a Tron-style multiplayer game in that drive and it caused a craze where, at any given time, half the school computers were being used by students to play this Tron game with each other over LAN instead of studying.

    I may have been the one who put the executable on the drive to play with my friends. I may have also been banned from using the school computers for the rest of the semester because of it.

    Principal was fired by the board, and then immediately sued the school for wrongful dismissal. It was a landmark case and ended up on national news. The principal won and the school went broke. It was the best school in town until then: all the good teachers quit and went elsewhere taking many students with them because parents didn’t want their kids in a broke school with only the crappy teachers left.

    One guy speeding back from lunch break hit another student who was crossing the street, they went flying in the air and hit a power pole tens of meters away. All the people outside were understandably traumatized including the sibling of the person who was close by.

    The one I kept hearing during HS was the serial masturbator who looked like Harry Potter.

    Basically there was one kid who would constantly start jacking off during classes. Wouldn’t stop when told to stop.

    Was three grades below me so I was luckily never in the classes where it happened. So many people I know weren’t as lucky and saw it.

    I got no idea why the school allowed the kid to still be on the campus.

    School turned into an early college one after I started, so those kids were dealing with enough already to then deal with constantly seeing a kid jackoff in college level classes.
