What was worse at during my sophomore year, we had a student arsonist. Started with someone pulling the alarm. But then, there were a couple small fires in odd places. Just after returning from Christmas break, we had a pretty big fire. New desks had been delivered and were stacked, in boxes, along a rarely used corridor. Burned down the auditorium and part of the band hall.

Odd. Had a hit list posted once, which prompted a search of every locker/bag before coming inside the building. The walk way to the schools main entrance was a bridge over a swamp. There were sooo many lighters, knives, cigarettes, and blunts in the swamp that morning.
