(Aliquippa, Pa.) A group of Aliquippa High School Seniors, including the class president , won’t be walking to get their diplomas Friday night. A senior prank last Tuesday night closed the school to students last Wednesday because a mess was made using condiments and other substances and had to be cleaned up by the district’s maintenance staff. Some students that were involved were identified by the district’s surveillance cameras. Parents and students were at last night’s school board meeting and the seniors involved want to walk at graduation, saying it isn’t fair that they’re being punished. Those were the words of some tearful parents and students.
It hasn’t been confirmed that the seniors involved will face any charges. Councilman Donald Walker III offered the students community service. He said,” If you contact me I will have Alex Scott, the road superintendent, set up dates and times when you can clean up in the city. He said, “The city’s a mess..” Walker teaches at the high school.
