School In OH: Graduation Day Canceled Because 60 Seniors Cheated!

Who didn’t cheat in high school?

In one of my classes in my Jr. year in high school, which was in OH, the students were so scandalous and the teacher was so blind that they would pass their tests around, giving out answers, during the test!!

I wasn’t in Columbus, OH, but apparently someone was caught cheating and it ticked the school officials off sooooo badly that they canceled graduation day.  Oh well…

A senior at Centerburg High School accessed teachers’ computers, found tests, printed them and distributed them to classmates, administrators said.

Graduation was canceled because so many seniors either cheated or knew about the cheating but failed to report it, said officials of the Centerburg School District.

Parents holding own ceremony
Some parents angry about the cancellation are organizing an unofficial graduation ceremony.Jeanette Lamb, whose son is a senior at the school, asked the Centerburg School Board to reconsider its decision to cancel graduation. The board declined.
