I don’t think I‘ve gone to a school where I ever interacted much with the principal so it’s interesting to see students here pulling this light hearted prank.

These kids are probably not the ones getting in trouble a lot and having to talk to the principal, so I wonder how they built a relationship like this that they wanted to prank him in the first place.

What's strange to me is I once emailed my principal to ask if me and my friends could have a place during winter formal where we could play our own music. We all liked older music and just wanted to be able to mess around and play DJ. There wasn't really a place, no prob. When we went, he talked to me by name and I was like, "How does he know my name/face??" I don't think I ever talked to him previously. My school had over 2k students and to this day, I have no idea how he recognized me and knew me by my name.

He knew your name and grade from your email then asked a teacher in your grade, “Hey, can you point out [student name]?”

“Yeah, it’s the girl in the blue dress.”

You can call me Mr. Holmes, Sherlock Holmes…

Lol, maybe!! There was a LOT of people and I happened to walk upstairs when he was walking out of the library. (Quiet zone for peeps and picture area.)

I was pretty eccentric, so it might have also been he knew me from the way I dressed...? I used to wear vintage clothes (still do) before other people did, so, maybe he just knew me from that?
