UK here. Quite a rural area in the mid-90s, and worlds away from US gun culture, but one time our school was playing rugby against another rival school and a lad brought in a .22 air rifle and shot one of their players in the ass from the edge of the pitch. It was hilarious for those not involved, kid got a telling off and may have been briefly suspended, but thinking about how that would have been reported these days it would probably have caused national outrage.

Student brought Madonna’s Sex book to school. Made it on one of the evening tabloid shows. Tossed small rodents into the open windows of passing cars. Sodomized baseball players with broom handle. Checked girls underwear on the way into prom to make sure they weren’t wearing thongs. Blink 182

Only two of those are on Wikipedia.

The one kid smashed a kid’s face into a toilet till it broke, toilet and kid’s face, and news crew came filming where we found out almost all our classes are made out of asbestos, late 2000s

Many of the classrooms were old Army barracks buildings. The people of the county were notoriously cheap and wouldn’t ever pay for a new school until it literally started dropping chunks of plaster and cement in the classrooms. Yet, the basketball court was one of the best around.

One of the older toilets used in a couple of the old school buildings (demolished for a newer one after I graduated) was permanently closed because it became so full of shit.

It was a toilet on a separate building, that was used for a couple of old buildings (one from the 1930’s if the local oral history is to be believed), and another one from the 1970’s. The stench was so unberable that the classrooms near it were also abandoned.

Oh, the school wasn’t infamous for that. I think, pushing shit aside, it’s so wonderfully mediocre that it didn’t really have anything it was famous or infamous for.

We made it on to Jay Leno.
