Principal Craig Weinreich attempts to make it across the Sunny Hills swimming pool in a boat while students from various classes watch during first period on Monday, May 20. The annual event features end-of-the-year projects in which Physics 1 and 2 students build boats made of wood sticks, glue, paper and paint. Those who make it all the way from one end of the pool to the other with an administrator or teacher on board will receive extra credit.
Student resource officer Gene Valencia treads in the water after the student-made boat sunk on Monday, May 20.
Wearing pink T-shirts featuring the word “Broduction” and a lipstick kiss print underneath, a group of boys performs Tyla’s R&B “Water” as part of its “Mean Boyz” routine in the last assembly of the school year during second period on Wednesday, May 22. The all-male ensemble was spoofing the school’s Dance Production, which usually comprises girls, and the earlier released movie musical, “Mean Girls.”
Custodians work on clearing the campus of toilet paper left on trees and throughout parts of the quad before zero period on Friday, May 24. School officials and students coming to campus spotted what was considered the Class of 2024’s senior prank, which also included inappropriate messages written in chalk on the hallway pavement and some classroom windows, rotten egg thrown at certain lockers and vaseline spread on several classroom doors and locks. School officials also asked teachers who have seniors first period to help with the clean-up.
Junior Naomi Coulter (left) signs her name on senior Hannah Jung’s senior class long-sleeved shirt during break on Friday, May 24. Signing the long-sleeved shirts is a tradition for seniors to ask friends on the last week of their attendance.
Seniors celebrate their last day of attendance in the quad with the annual paper toss after school on Friday, May 24. School officials allow each graduating class a minute after the last bell to throw up into the air any previous assignments and paperwork they’ve saved over the past four years to acknowledge their completion of their education at Sunny Hills.
Sophomore Scott Lee uses a broom to push the mess into one pile after the paper toss on Friday, May 24. Lee was among the Associated Student Body members who volunteered to help custodians clear the quad of all paperwork after the seniors were done celebrating their last day on campus before graduation on Thursday, May 30, at Fullerton Union High School stadium.
How do you feel about the state of students posting inappropriate images of their peers using AI in some Southern California schools?
