Despite the fact that most of us don’t really look at our schooling days fondly, it is a pretty common setting for all sorts of media. For some reason, teen drama simply sells, but the truth is often considerably more interesting than fiction.

I went to a Catholic high school. The priest on the faculty got a girl pregnant, then paid to get it terminated (and the Bishop paid off the girl’s family to keep it quiet). The Pennsylvania grand jury exposed it 20 years later.
Not “drama” per se but we had a kid drown during gym class. He couldn’t swim so the teacher had him swim laps in the shallow end with a kickboard while the rest of the class played water polo. Fast forward and halfway through the polo match someone noticed the kid wasn’t swimming laps next us. A student got out of the pool and looked and saw him at the bottomof the deep end. The teacher dove down and pulled him up and started CPR but it was too late. I’ll never forget it, very traumatizing for any person and such a heartbreak for the kids family that lost him.
Teacher f****d a student. School got caught trying to brow beat the student to keep things quiet. They failed to remember that the kid’s mom was a lawyer who had mama bear on steroids instincts. And they lost hard. Last I heard that kid owned a few houses that he still rents because of the payout/ time the school tried to drag it out.
A girl in my year level (who was a habitual liar) told everyone she had cancer. For a few weeks everyone was giving her sympathy until her twin sister in the same year level (obvi) was asked how she was doing with the recent news. She was totally shocked and blatantly said that her sister doesn’t have cancer.
When I was in 11th grade a dude brought in a bunch of brownies and cupcakes and s**t like that. They were weed edibles. A bunch of students and teachers got surprise high. They back tracked it to the dude and he got in big time trouble. It was on the news and everything.
A guy and a girl (both in ninth grade from what I can remember) decided to throw down and have sex with each other in a classroom in front of the entirety of the class. The teacher was out of the room — it was chaos. People yelling, some encouraging them, and others objecting. The teacher came back, and some of the students actively held the door to prevent her from interrupting. The cops got involved — it was all over the news, and the school shut down for, like, three days.
Supposedly, our principal was caught screwing a teacher at the school, during school hours. His wife was also a teacher at the school and his daughter was a student. When the county school board held a meeting to address the situation, the teacher he’d been sleeping with during the previous school year (still not his wife) got in a fight with the new mistress.That’s just one of many stories, our school was a cesspool of drama from the employees rather than the students.
After Christmas break of my Junior year in high school, our choir’s accompanist was outed as a groomer and p*******e. The worst part was, because he had a voice comparable to Herbert on Family Guy, we had all made jokes about it for years. We, uh…didn’t laugh much about it after the reveal.
One of the science teachers, Mr Greene, would confiscate phones if he saw you using them in class. This was back in the flip phone days, so easy to look through. He was sending himself nudes the girls had taken of themselves and he forgot to delete the text history on one of them. Girl told the parents, parents told the school, after a search of his phone and computer found dozens of naked girls, he was fired, we never heard what happened to him.Also, my 6th grade health teacher was also a gym teacher and always wore gym shorts. His nickname was Mr Boner, he always gave us the creeps. My senior year, he was arrested at the mall when he was with a student at Victoria’s Secret buying her underwear, she was 14. Brenton Unferth, scumbag.
The physics teacher left our school and went to another school where he then became the girls soccer coach and the cheerleading coach. I saw him on Fox 31 news a year after I graduated because he had slept with one of the 14-year-old students and ended up prison.
Volleyball coach/math teacher “resigned” for kissing a sophomore on the team. They then went on to have a public relationship. His family obviously supported it because she was in their Thanksgiving dinner photos on Facebook.
One of my classmates f****d the band teacher, and when his mom came into his room, he just told his mom to leave, shut the door, and went back to f*****g the teacher. At least that’s the story that was told about why he was expelled and she was fired.
Two guys at my HS brought guns to school. They were caught before they could take action. Kids usually have sex in the bathroom. There are fights every 2-3 daysLastly, Hannah left Brett on read
My Junior year the drama department did Peter Pan for their big play. But the lead dropped out the week before the first show and the understudy got really sick. They switched a bunch of roles around and it seemed like nobody knew what they were doing. To top it off the tech crew was a bunch of stoners that were high on opening night. It was a real disaster. Some of the worst high school drama ever.
gym teacher (who was engaged to a woman) f****d multiple students, got fired & was arrested.for a senior prank, some students got a copy of his save the date, made a bunch of copies & brought them to school.
Two brothers, one a sophomore, one a senior, drag raced each other one weekend; one lost control and died. The sophomore returned

Short Version:Last overnight trip in high school ever, I didn’t go cause I was in hospital. Found out from my friend someone had spiked the hot chocolate when everyone was together around a campfire. Didn’t hit anyone hard until later that night, from what I’m told there was things from existential crisis about life to sobbing about hair. The next day it took everyone there 4 hours to get up cause they were so hungover.So I’m glad I stayed home.
Our school hired (unknowingly) hired a janitor who turned out to be a wanted criminal and a capital m******r. He was wanted in Tx n moved way up north either to escape or start fresh. He was working at the high school for sometime before something happened where he ended up getting caught n arrested.
Catholic school. One of the Monks (who were also teachers) left the brotherhood and shacked up with a divorcee Religious Education teacher.
I’m a teacher and this was from like the third year of my career. One of the para’s in our school was busted for drug sales in a MAJOR way. Like $90k in cash and a metric f ton of drugs and weapons at his house. He was apparently pretty high up on the chain, I think he was sentenced to 10 years, and was among 25 total people arrested.But he was the nicest nerdiest dude ever. Super happy and friendly, but looking back I guess that was the oxy. It’s always the ones you would never suspect.Oh I remembered another one, a teacher I worked with was taking $$ for grades, $1 a point. Slip her a $100, you would get an A for the marking period. She had been doing it for long enough that she bought herself a car. She was charged and got 18 months probation and lost her teaching license.
One of the assistant teachers (who every girl thought was so cute, ew) went on a camping trip to Maine with one of the sophomore girls (who was dating someone in a couple grades above) and video taped him and her having sex. Yes, he got caught thankfully but wow, that was gross….
This d**k dumped this girl because she was diagnosed with cancer, and once word got out everyone started bad mouthing him. He then went back to her because he said he felt like he “had to”.
The head football coach was writing kinky notes to two girls in my grade. He lost his job and teaching license. Football families protested and threatened not to send their kids to school because he was fired.

Girls Soccer Coach was sleeping with one of his athletes. Never came out while we were in school but after they got married and he was fired. Stuff rolled out about it then and eventually he was charged and she decided she was a lesbian.
Guy broke up with a girl mid taking her virginity and she jumped from the admin building. I had just gotten off the bus and came around the corner. She landed ten feet from me
My history teacher apparently wrote a note to one of his student TA’s that said “I would rather f**k you than my wife.” He was placed on “paid leave” the rest of the year then resigned and moved away to a different state. Apparently he voluntarily surrendered his teaching license before they could take it away. There were rumors that he was fired, but as far as I know, he was only under investigation.
My senior year someone kept writing/drawing in their own st on the bathroom wall. His infamous quote was “uh oh stinky?” but would occasionally draw smiley faces. One time he even got a little adventurous and wrote the entire alphabet in his own st. He would strike and then wait a few weeks and lay low until his next finger poop session. This went on for months and the shitmeister was still at large and hadn’t been caught. To this day I don’t think he ever caught or they knew who was doing it lol.
Went to an all boys private school known for sports. The receptionist for the athletic department was caught having sex with a student. She was fired. Her son went to the school and finished out the year.Faculty members can have their kids attend free. I always wondered if she had to start paying tuition or if they let it slide.
Someone snuck the n-word into the yearbook.
I was not involved but when I was in 9th grade, our classmates were so rowdy and toxic that it caused the school to go on lockdown several times. One fight ended with one student pushing another student into the vending machine (broken glass everywhere). They took away the vending AND drink machines from the hallways, we never got them back all through the 4 years. That year they also brought in police and drug dogs. All the students had to stand against the walls as the dogs sniffed each person, and each persons locker was sniffed. My class was very sex crazy as well. One girl and guy were caught in the bathroom performing/receiving o**l.. The girl transferred to another school. At least 3 of the teachers(all female) were flirting with students throughout the 4 years. One teacher kissed a student on the cheek in front of us in class. Two of them prepositioned a friend of mine for sex but he turned them down (he had a girlfriend).
My teacher (Mr. Hawkins) grabbed my butt and I reported it but nothing ever came of it. The administration said “Mr. Hawkins has been here for 25 years. He would never do that.” But he did. My sister was dying from MS at the same time so it was overshadowed. She died the next year. She was 31. I was 17. Rough for our family.Then Mr. Snyder was exposed. Great school academically but keep an eye out for your kids. The 90s were a real mess for Torrance High School, but they seemed to cover it up well.
