Senior Prank ‘School For Sale’ Video Circulates In Anne Arundel
ANNAPOLIS, MD —A group of students decided to pull a senior prank at Broadneck High School this week that has many residents laughing and reminiscing about their own senior pranks done in years past. Radio station 103.1 shared a YouTube video of students creating a giant sign on a bright blue tarp using tape for letters. (Watch the video at the bottom of this story.)
The sign said the school is for sale and it's been vacant since March. Broadneck High School and all other Maryland public schools have been closed since March 13 to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Some of the selling points of the property, according to the clever students, are 100+ rooms, a turf field, a full-size gym, plenty of parking and a "good security system." Interested parties are encouraged to call 410-BHS-2020, a number that represents Broadneck High School 2020.
The students painstakingly hung the giant sign on the front of the building in the dark of night and eagerly awaited the staff's reaction in the morning. In the YouTube video, one woman walks out of the building laughing and snaps a photo of the sign, followed by other school employees.
"That's really funny. Well done guys, well done," she said.
Facebook users got a kick out of a photo shared by WMAR's Jamie Costello of the sign hanging on the building.
"Love it!!!!I'm sure they had fun doing it. They deserve to laugh."
"Awesome! What a clean and fun prank! Congratulations to the Class of 2020 at that school!! Best wishes to all!!," a commenter said.
"Glad that seniors can still do silly pranks and not get into trouble. It's harmless really. Glad they took it in stride. Class of 2020!"
Bob Mosier, spokesman for Anne Arundel County Public Schools, confirmed that none of the district's properties are for sale. Realtor David Orso with The David Orso Team of Compass Real Estate posted on Facebook that the "Broadneck Senior Class of 2020 is ready to take on the real estate game.
"Very clever and well played senior prank!!!!! Call me in 4 years for a job," he posted.
