LBJ Students Vandalize McCallum

At the beginning of October, McCallum students were surprised to see a series of vandalism was done all over campus. It was later determined that a group of kids from LBJ/LASA High School had done such things to prank McCallum before the football game that night. There were many opinions on this topic from both schools, some students saw it as a harmless prank and others thought that the students took it too far.
The LBJ/LASA students put crushed up plastic on one McCallum’s practice fields in the shape of a penis and also salt on the game field in the shape of a penis. They also put toothpicks and skewers on the main football field as well as tearing down one of the goal posts. Also they drew penises using an unknown liquid all over the courtyard which McCallum has yet to find a way to clean off. “Replacing the goal post will cost from $3,000 to $5,000 dollars.” says Michael Garrison, the McCallum principal said.
No students know the exact reason behind these crimes or who did it.The consequences of these students is confidential as well.There have been rumors that the people weren’t actually LASA students but i has been confirmed that those rumors are false. The pranks were not known to be targeted at any group of students either. Most McCallum administrators say that these actions were uncalled for. “I do not consider this a prank. It is vandalism, criminal mischief, and destruction of property.” said Garrison. Students have opinions on the situation as well. Student Amanda Eller in the LASA program said, “I think it was stupid of them to do it with grease and Mac hadn’t even done anything to us so I think they took it too far and they need to stop caring about rivalries so much”. There are very strong opinions on this topic.

An anonymous teacher comments, “They should have at least made their portraits more accurate!”.

  1. The anonymous teacher said, "self-portraits."
    The story is really good with some specific information, but this version also leaves me with questions. Who gave you the specific information about exactly what the vandals did? That source should be cited as your source for what happened.
    Is the school going to press charges? You only had two interviews too. Probably should have been more opinions. 91
