Max Read · 05/11/11 06:59PM

A high school class in Louisville, Ky. just went on the best field trip, ever! If you like finding bodies. Because that's what they did! They found a body, face-down "by a creek behind the school in a wooded area."

Aw, talk about a Gift of the Magi-type situation (sort of). A senior at Shelton High School in Connecticut wanted to make a grand gesture when inviting his "good friend" (riiiight) to the prom, but now that gesture has gotten him banned from the very prom he hoped to attend.

The Lingering 'Curse' of Senior Superlatives

Jeff Neumann · 05/11/11 06:28AM

Way back in senior year of high school, you were probably so jealous of whoever was voted "Most Likely to Succeed," weren't you? Okay, probably not. But have you ever thought of the long term psychological effects of trying to live up that? We certainly wouldn't know what that's like, but apparently it's not very easy! In fact, many see it as "a curse" later in life.

A Houston teacher of the ancient Islamic discipline "Algebra" has been suspended for making fun of a ninth grade Muslim student, in front of the whole class, following Osama bin Laden's death. The PC Police strike again! As they should, because this guy sounds like a priceless moron.

Here's another story of high school gender confusion, this one coming from America's great pulsating phallus, Florida. It seems a Tampa-area teen wore high heels to school, causing an uproar. The uproar? This teen was a boy. In high heels! What is this, Crazy Town?

Here' s a new trailer for Disney's Prom, a movie all about the one night of your life when you can feel special and carefree and perfect. It's all downhill after the prom, for sure. The movie seems a bit like a teen version of ensemble comedies like—shudder—Valentine's Day.

Oklahoma Just Can't Make Up Its Mind About the Gays

Richard Lawson · 11/15/10 05:49PM

Two stories came out of the Sooner State today, one that makes a gay activist's blood boil, the other that warms that same activist's boiled-blood-filled heart. One involves some public school malfeasance, the other everyone's favorite Baptist church.

Steeple Races: Like Hurdles, with Water

This girl cannot hurdle, so adding water on the other side does not help. Here is another sarcastically scored video of a high school track and field fail! Watch as she becomes fodder for the crowd.

The High School Hurdle Girls, Slowed Down and with More Radiohead

Matt Cherette · 11/11/10 02:38PM

Yesterday, we posted a video of an intensely horrible high school girls' hurdles race (here). It was an instant Internet sensation! Or something. Anyway, somebody took the video, slowed it down, and added the acoustic cover of Radiohead's "Creep."

This Quarterback Thinks the Game is Over. It Isn't.

Today's high school football blooper features a poor execution of the end-game strategy "running out the clock." The clock may be at zero, but the ball is still alive. A great idea dawns on a lucky Oviedo High School defender.
