Controversies
On May 2, 1997, a DeLand High School teacher and coach, while teaching a class, pulled out a starting pistol and pointed it at a 15-year-old student after the boy talked back to him. The teacher was placed on leave. He resigned several weeks later. The State Attorney's Office decided not to file charges against the teacher, saying that the modified pistol does not fit the state's legal definition of a firearm. He was cleared to return to teaching a year after the incident.[11][12][13]
In May 2002, 12 students super-glued stolen beehives within the school and also glued a large number of classroom and building doors shut. The school prank resulted in the release of a swarm of 80,000 bees. The students were suspended and later sentenced to perform community service. This prank was also the first to air on MTV's show High School Stories: Scandals, Pranks & Controversies receiving an hour-long special.[14][15]
