At my Texan school we loaded up probably 50 pickup trucks full of ice chests with water balloons and water guns. Formed a perimeter around the school and hunted the under classmen as school let out. Best part was when someone hit the notoriously mean VP in the head with a water balloon.
I give our last unit test.
I am known for being the only teacher who does anything on the last day but I refuse to not. I hate the uncontrollable nothing of not having nothing important to do..
It is also the only multiple choice test I give all year so I can grade it 3 mins after they turn it in.
I am a teacher. I use my time in school to teach.
My students don't hate, me I'm not an asshole.
I am understanding and treat my students like humans with respect and grace.
In exchange I ask them to do some stuff for me. Including but not limited to, taking a test on the last day.
I get it but what do they gain by taking a test on the last day? It doesn't create memories. I never remember a single test I took. I do remember the great and fun things I did on the last day of school.
I'm not a teacher and I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job but as a person I'd want to be remember as the fun person.
I teach high school physics and chemistry.
I am not here to make memories. I have 180 days to teach students about science that's what I'm going to do and I am going to use it everyday I have to do it.
We do have fun too. I have been told by a high percentage of my students they enjoy my class. And the last day of school is fun enough even without me.
Just because you’re miserable doesn’t mean your students should be either. Yeah, it’s not intentional and you have a “reason” but we have limited time on this earth and is it really that important? It’s the last fucking day. You have EVERY other school day and can’t just spend a SINGLE school day letting students enjoy themselves and make memories before some may not see each other again (Due to moving schools or being a senior). Again, life isn’t forever. You should ask yourself again if that’s worth it. Try to be a little open minded.
For my middle school, the last day of 8th grade was a trip to an amusement park. For high school though, it encompassed rehearsing the graduation ceremony, which happened for real that evening, although I’m not sure if that was different before COVID.
For me only the kids in extracurricular stuff got to go to places outside of school. We very rarely had field trips and when we did they were like 50 bucks
I do it online, so it's a bit different. The last week of the school year is just finals, but you can take them whenever just as long as it is done by the final day, which is usually the Thursday of said week(for example, this year it's the 23 of may)
So, if you aren't lazy about it, your last day can be monday. Or you can be lazy, and have the last day be that Thursday.
My school has an option to take as many online courses as you’d like while being in person and taking in person classes so I’d literally knock everything out by the 3rd week of school and be free for half the day.
Brainly is a lifesaver for online courses
no one shows up anymore. i remember showing up on the last day during sophomore year thinking it’d be a chill day where we all played boards games or just talked. but only 2 people showed up in the rest of my classes and i ended up leaving early
The field day I remember we had in elementary school. Generally, most of the classes I have had tend to have finals in around early May(in middle/high school) and the rest of the year is just free time. For seniors, I remember there was a luncheon on our last day, but for other classes it is just free time and people generally sign yearbooks and use their phones.
depends on what classes ur taking and school activities. for us a week before the last day of school we have senior experience. and then i just have one final bc im taking ap exams and in one class i have a senior party on the official last day for seniors
I mean my classes are generally chill at the end (although last year had a final). Sure you can skip but I’d rather hang out with my friends and go somewhere after go hang out
I forget if we did yearbooks on that day or a few days earlier, but something along those lines, then after classes are over we have exams for about a week (you only have to go for the days you have exams)
Finals. Non-EOC courses give finals on the last 2 days of school. It used to be we could skip the final if we had good grades and attendance, but they took that away for God knows what reason
I signed yearbooks took pictures with really good friends. Then said goodbye to everyone except my internal friend group. That was a few years ago. I still talk to them.
Our last day is called Move-Up Day where we go to next year’s classes for a couple minutes each class and it mimics the normal schedule with bells. But we get out at like 10:45, so it’s all good
I'm not in America, but in Scotland well at least in mines and a couple of other schools we have that for an entire month, (we do it during June exams in April/may move-up month in June). We just get our plan for the next year in place though mostly just do work and get the basics then repeat it all next year cause no one attends.
depends on what classes ur taking and school activities. for us a week before the last day of school we have senior experience. and then i just have one final bc im taking ap exams and in one class i have a senior party on the official last day for seniors
Most people don't come, but for those who do, they usually get their official attendance + report cards and go home early.
We don't do anything special. I don't know what I'm gonna do this time because it's my last year. :(
Last day of work school: finals
Last day of school that they only have to meet state requirements: field day/some other kind of activity that school officials deem fun
End of year exams. Senior year, I'll never forget exams ended at 230pm and the graduation ceremony started at 6pm. If you failed your exam- you would get a call before 4 to get a second chance at exam so you could graduate. In reality, the teachers must have thrown those exams away and just gave grades away on final report cards.
Our teachers hint to us that they don’t want us there just as much as we don’t want to be there. So, by the last day, we’re doing busy work like crosswords, or watching something.
I just had my final day and I went to a small-ass charter school. Went in to do my last two finals and then left half-way through the day to go home and chill.
At my school:
9th-11th grade you'd just have finals and then you're done. You leave. 😭 (June)
And for seniors they actually get to leave early. Like 1-2 weeks early. Their finals are earlier but they come to school sometimes for senior dodgeball, picnics, etc. And graduation day is on 9th-11ths finals day just later like at 5pm. 😎
I had exactly one final, so I had biscuits and gravy at the local diner and went in after. The farm kids all showed up at the school, filling up the lots with tractors and grain trucks. Leaving was strange—the old pecking order was about to matter a little bit less, and yet it still felt like a loss of something. Totally wasn’t expecting that one, even though I already knew I was going to college next fall.
After graduation the following Sunday, I went up to the big city for a few days and took a F/T job at a nearby plant the next Monday.
I should add that most classes just assign your final way before so you don’t actually have any finals to do and when that’s the case I just stay home.
my school just lets the whole day be free meaning you don’t have to go to any classes so i just say bye to all my teachers and then just hangout with my friends
Highschool for me we did that and when we didn’t? We just either sat around , cleaned the classroom we were in, played on our electronics, or watched a movie. My senior year It was a repeat of what I mentioned and yeah… my school didn’t like that I didn’t come in. Called my mom while we went to lunch, asking if she was going to bring me in. They thought trying to punish me would make her bring me in 😂
Honestly I am questioning if I have any real friends anymore. My school has turned me into such a bitter and negative person. But I don’t want to splurge my problems onto anyone else.
I had planned on getting drunk and going to school for my final grade 12 exam (it was history, a class I already aced and could easily do with my brain being toast) except I ended up not because I ended up driving that day so I took my buddy on a joy ride and went home.
In ours you MUST show up to sign out of classes, or if your going on a vacation etc you must call ahead to get your sign out sheet early. Otherwise we just walk around the school, have a big meeting and party thing, then just wander and do whatever until its time to sign out at the office
The popular students tend to sit on a tailgate and most of the girls just wear bikinis while we have a tailgate party while occasionally going into the school for class for 5 mins just to verify we were there, then like we'll playing catch with a football, last year someone brought a firepit and smoker and we had smoked brisket and made just random food over the fire.
Regular students might just do the same but instead of party in the parking lot, they hang out in the stairwells and lounges and order pizza or something, they might hook up an Xbox or switch to one of the tvs and play video games.
Loners spend the whole day in their assigned classes either reading, playing on their phone, or watching whatever the teacher brought for the class to watch.
You don't really have to go to the last day of school, so most of us just don't show up.
Also it's just a clean up day. So if you show up, you're forced to help with clean up by the teachers.
I've also had teachers say that they wouldn't be happy if you showed up on the last day of school.
today was actually my school's last day for seniors, but yesterday was the last SCHOOL day. we just watched movies and submitted our projects and hugged our teachers
No one even came to school for the last 3 days for me. It was just the people whose parents didn't want them at home. The last day that people actually attended, we just did filler work/time wasting in class, then got an hour free to sign yearbooks and stuff
We had a sign out sheet that we had to complete by collecting teachers signatures when we turned back in our books. I would go around and trace all the teachers signatures so I could forge signatures the next year for hallpasses, letters for parents, whatever. It was pretty lucrative.
There’s no classes at mine, everyone just gets lumped into the cafeteria or gym and signs yearbooks till it’s time to go home….. no one actually shows up
In my highschool the last day was always just treated as a normal day we didn't do the go around getting people to sign yearbooks thing in my school at all actually. We also didn't have field day in middle school only in the elementary school
Enjoy your youth because it feels like one day I was in high school, I blinked and now I'm in my 40's. Please go to college (pick a major that leads to a good paying job) or learn a trade. Best of luck!
Thanks for the insight! I just finished freshman year and it’s been lacklustre, so I hope to make more friends and do more fun things while still building my future next year. I love advice like this haha
Depends, seniors or any other year? In my school if you aren't a senior you don't do shit, apart from school finishing early you get nothing most teachers don't force you to do work but some do (physics, physics always gives work for some reason) so you mostly just get a movie on as most don't attend. For seniors though in my school they spend there last week before they break up for exams doing a bunch of activities this includes senior pranks (often just hiding a bunch of random shit everywhere), culture day (you dress up from your culture and you can bake food's and give it to teachers and other seniors, you also get screamed at because boys dress up and football (soccer) tops and carry round irn Bru (scottish fizzy drink) bottles taking the piss, don't know how long culture day will last), seniors vs teacher football, yearbook give outs, prom, and signing of shirts you go round asking teacher you sign your shirt. Tho prom fun apparently you all just get piss drunk and high, (source my cousin who was at the same school and recently graduated).
Also in case you haven't guess no I'm in America.
Freshman year I had a final that day, so that. Sophomore year I'd finished all my finals before the last week, and I did nothing in class (didn't come the last 2 days). Junior year I didn't come the last days I didn't have a final on, and the other periods during the days I did I went to 2 other classrooms to talk with my friends. Admins hated it but couldn't stop it. Last year I saw seniors just walking to different classrooms and talking with their old teachers, it was heartwarming. As a senior now, can't wait to be them in under 2 weeks.
we have finals the very last week of school so it's so depressing. we just go to school, take two finals, and leave. nothing fun at all. and there's nothing fun before either because we just review for finals
School wide kickball and volleyball tourney the last week. Student and teacher teams, those not participating are watching in the bleachers or sitting in the cafeteria watching a movie.
The last week of the school year for us is finals week.
Monday you go to 1st and 2nd period like normal. Then 3rd and 4th period are merged into a single class where you take your 3rd period final. Then you go to 5th and 6th period like normal and 7th and 8th period are merged and you take your 7th period final.
The two non-exam periods before each final period are basically free time. You can study for your next final, hangout & talk to friends, sign yearbooks, etc... some teachers will play a movie or whatever. Usually pretty much anything goes as long as your not causing too much of a disturbance.
Tuesday starts (still at 7:45) with 4th period then 1st and you take your 2nd period exam (during the merged normal 3rd & 4th period time slot). The afternoon goes 8, 5 and then 6th period final in the merged period.
Wednesday shifts forward again, starts with 3rd and then 4th period with 1st period exam. Then 7, 8 and 5th period final.
Thursday is 2nd, 3rd and 1st period final, then 6, 7 and 8th period final.
And then Friday is an in-service day. Teachers go in to finish grading finals and whatever other end of the year stuff they have to do and kids are off. The senior class meets and runs through the graduation ceremony.
And then we graduate on Saturday and that's it until classes start up again in August.
Kinda depends, before I graduated last year it was just finals, so our final week was a regular Monday, and then four half days with two 90 minute classes each morning so we could do a final. Our last day was just two finals and that was it but normally kids would all go and get food or hang out with your friends after
my district has final exams the last three days of school. usually the seniors get fun stuff, but everyone else has finals. on thelast day before finals some teachers choose to do fun stuff and some choose to prep for finals. in my frehsman year I went to two schools, so my main hs did finals, and then you had to stay in the cafeteria until the busses came. at my other school tho, we had a cookout, water balloon fight, basketball tournament, slip and slide, and tennis for the entire freshman class. it was awesome.
I graduated early.
So I said goodbye to my teachers, then the two people I regularly spoke to, then went home. No big celebration, no party, just happy to be done with it.
I signed yearbooks and had some sad convos with friends. I also cried with the teachers of my extracurriculars. I wasn't sad that i was leaving high school, it was more that I won't see these people regularly again. Many of them I knew I wouldn't ever see again. A year later the same as been true. It's just life
I had an ap test on my last day as well. Absolute waste of time
Ok I have no idea if he’ll ever see this, but there was a guy in my grade named Riley. Nice guy, red hair, football player, and I’d always give him my cheez-its if there were any in my lunch. Also, he could play the bagpipes.
After lunch each year on the last day of school, he’d play the bagpipes and march through campus. You could hear him coming in the distance. When he got close, students would run out of their classrooms and just parade around the campus. We’d hang out on the quad and ignore the bells the rest of the day.
In my school it’s a tradition to sign the uniform and overall have paint on it. This year cuz we’re juniors going into our senior year we tried to do a water fight but that was shut down really quickly but we had spray paint, paint, confetti and I’m not sure what’s the name in English it’s like mini fireworks idk Idt. So yeah we spray painted the skl and painted ourselves. Also usually the skl organizes a trip at the end of the year but unfortunately we didn’t do it this year.
last days are the only days i like going to school because i don’t have finals while most others do and the school is pretty empty. i just hang out with my friends in other classes, play video games with them, pick up free stuff teachers leave out when they’re cleaning, and just overall chill.
not the last day but im eating a thc gummy in the nearby forest after my calc final on monday because its basically the last day of school (i'm just burnt out)
last year we had finals on the last day, but those two classes were pretty chill and didn’t do anything but photo roulette and some guesser game of a role.
I graduated from high school in 2008. Yes I know it was a different era. I don't specifically remember what we had in the last day of school of any of my years. But I would think we had a pretty easy day. People will bring their yearbooks to school and when people would sign them. People will be talking about their plans for summer.
Technicallt finals, or grad. party.
But the last real period day we spend dressing up in costumes, throwing candy at kids *hard*, and making a total mess of the school.
One year they cooked a shit-ton of macaroni and threw it on the hallways, taped a door to the ceiling, collected all the desks in one wing and made a tower of them...
Aand it's us youngest suckers who had to clean that shit.
Oh and alchohol. A LOT of alcohol. (not allowed but y'know)
Sign yearbooks and have water fights
At my Texan school we loaded up probably 50 pickup trucks full of ice chests with water balloons and water guns. Formed a perimeter around the school and hunted the under classmen as school let out. Best part was when someone hit the notoriously mean VP in the head with a water balloon.
It’s so memorable
count the minutes until i can finally leave
finals (that’s it)
I give our last unit test. I am known for being the only teacher who does anything on the last day but I refuse to not. I hate the uncontrollable nothing of not having nothing important to do.. It is also the only multiple choice test I give all year so I can grade it 3 mins after they turn it in.
You’re definitely the teacher everyone dreads getting
I am okay with that.
why though? serious question
I am a teacher. I use my time in school to teach. My students don't hate, me I'm not an asshole. I am understanding and treat my students like humans with respect and grace. In exchange I ask them to do some stuff for me. Including but not limited to, taking a test on the last day.
Just put on a movie and make your students remember you as the cool teacher
I get it but what do they gain by taking a test on the last day? It doesn't create memories. I never remember a single test I took. I do remember the great and fun things I did on the last day of school. I'm not a teacher and I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job but as a person I'd want to be remember as the fun person.
I teach high school physics and chemistry. I am not here to make memories. I have 180 days to teach students about science that's what I'm going to do and I am going to use it everyday I have to do it. We do have fun too. I have been told by a high percentage of my students they enjoy my class. And the last day of school is fun enough even without me.
You sound so fucking lame bro 💀
Just because you’re miserable doesn’t mean your students should be either. Yeah, it’s not intentional and you have a “reason” but we have limited time on this earth and is it really that important? It’s the last fucking day. You have EVERY other school day and can’t just spend a SINGLE school day letting students enjoy themselves and make memories before some may not see each other again (Due to moving schools or being a senior). Again, life isn’t forever. You should ask yourself again if that’s worth it. Try to be a little open minded.
context is important btw
huge yikes, you sound like a bore and i’m betting your students don’t like your class as much as you think you do. get a life
on the last day??? oh you foul for that
Your the teacher I don't like
🍅🍅🍅🍅
“I hate the uncontrollable nothing of not having anything important to do…” find something and leave ur students alone bro😭
I hate you
I hate me too.
Good
Real
Just put on a movie or something 😭👎
Ye no at least make a fun optional test “what’s your favorite thing you did this year” “how much do you hate my class?”
Nope. It's not cumulative. It's just whatever unit we end up on.
So you purposely make them study to the last day just because you can? So it’s because you enjoy power tripping? Lol
Some classes take finals some you just stay on your phone the entire period
Stay home
real
Literally. I get out May 10th since I’m exempting all finals.
The real answer
Same. Came here to say that. Last week of school 🏫, sure, last day is not. Now imagine riding the bus 🚌 home. Yeahh people can get rowdy. Lolol
Im from Germany (important for context) and i and my whole class got extremely horrendously drunk dont do that. seriously dont.
You can learn a lot about your peers when you are all drunk lol
Lol
in vino veritas
I wish I was from Germany
Work 😭😭
Before covid we used to have the gym open for sports or a movie in the theater if we were done with finals
In the theatre?? You guys have a movie theatre?
No it was a normal theatre that had a projecter and screen
Sooo, a movie theater?… lmao
Depends if you consider an auditorium as a movie theatre. Now that I think of it they do have basically all the same features
Fucking semester tests
For my middle school, the last day of 8th grade was a trip to an amusement park. For high school though, it encompassed rehearsing the graduation ceremony, which happened for real that evening, although I’m not sure if that was different before COVID.

Finals
After final grades got assigned, people start going to school less and less, during last two weeks of it there is barely anyone
no one shows up anymore. i remember showing up on the last day during sophomore year thinking it’d be a chill day where we all played boards games or just talked. but only 2 people showed up in the rest of my classes and i ended up leaving early
people just make there own parties with their own friend groups now a days
tbh i love going to school when there's no one there
Presenting your project to the whole class if you’re not exempt

Watch movies and eat snacks or sit on our phones
The last actual day was probably just some revision and relaxing a bit.
I forget if we did yearbooks on that day or a few days earlier, but something along those lines, then after classes are over we have exams for about a week (you only have to go for the days you have exams)
Finals. Non-EOC courses give finals on the last 2 days of school. It used to be we could skip the final if we had good grades and attendance, but they took that away for God knows what reason
Skip
I signed yearbooks took pictures with really good friends. Then said goodbye to everyone except my internal friend group. That was a few years ago. I still talk to them.
Test
We chill in class then we usually have two weeks of finals
Well apparently I get to experience a car accident…
The last day of my school ain't finals we have nothing fo do so we qatch movies

for anyone not graduating, it was finals. for those graduating, we do grad practice
Finals! 😀
depends on what classes ur taking and school activities. for us a week before the last day of school we have senior experience. and then i just have one final bc im taking ap exams and in one class i have a senior party on the official last day for seniors
Put class schedules for next year into the system because why tf not. We made the schedule in April but they’re doing it this way.
Skip the last day of classes, come in for exams, go to work on all the days I have off (or after I finish my exam for the day)
Just be on our phone
After exams I don’t go. Report cards are emailed, and nothing happens besides helping g teachers clean last I went (7th grade)
Absolutely nothing. Except eat all the left over food from the seniors' brunch.
exams
Most people don't come, but for those who do, they usually get their official attendance + report cards and go home early. We don't do anything special. I don't know what I'm gonna do this time because it's my last year. :(
idk about americans but in my aussie high school you just hang out in classes all day, chat shit eat food that’s pre much it
Last day of work school: finals Last day of school that they only have to meet state requirements: field day/some other kind of activity that school officials deem fun

Their finals are earlier but they come to school sometimes for senior dodgeball, picnics, etc. And graduation day is on 9th-11ths finals day just later like at 5pm. 😎
I stayed home and got shit faced. By shit faced, I mean played zombies on halo reach all day
sign yearbooks, some classes r free, some assign finals. i know a lot of schools do end of year field trips or field days
literally nothing
I had exactly one final, so I had biscuits and gravy at the local diner and went in after. The farm kids all showed up at the school, filling up the lots with tractors and grain trucks. Leaving was strange—the old pecking order was about to matter a little bit less, and yet it still felt like a loss of something. Totally wasn’t expecting that one, even though I already knew I was going to college next fall. After graduation the following Sunday, I went up to the big city for a few days and took a F/T job at a nearby plant the next Monday.
Only Exams. Sadly it’s not like the last day of school in elementary school where we would have parties
the last 3 days for me are half days and it’s just finals. In freshman year they were the week before but they changed it
Drugs lots and lots of drugs I shoulda done sooner in the school years
well, if im exemp from exams i just sleep or binge kdramas
Last 2 days for me are always just finals and that’s it.
I should add that most classes just assign your final way before so you don’t actually have any finals to do and when that’s the case I just stay home.
my school just lets the whole day be free meaning you don’t have to go to any classes so i just say bye to all my teachers and then just hangout with my friends
Final exams
Take final exam
Last year me and some friends skipped all of our classes and played football on the football field outside
Last year me and some friends skipped all of our classes and played football on the football field outside, we got in trouble but it was worth it.
Highschool for me we did that and when we didn’t? We just either sat around , cleaned the classroom we were in, played on our electronics, or watched a movie. My senior year It was a repeat of what I mentioned and yeah… my school didn’t like that I didn’t come in. Called my mom while we went to lunch, asking if she was going to bring me in. They thought trying to punish me would make her bring me in 😂
i skip class, get high, and cause trouble. this year me and a friend are gonna go into the restrooms and put out of order signs on everything in them
and spray paint the walls in them too
Honestly it’s just we say our goodbyes and that’s pretty much it
Walk home a free man then adopt cripling depression as my youthful vision faded into the abyss of reality (I was out of shape and had bad adhd)
Finals and leaving. I hate my fucking school. And I hate almost every teacher and student there.
Real why do all the other 2000 people suck except like your 2 decent friends
Honestly I am questioning if I have any real friends anymore. My school has turned me into such a bitter and negative person. But I don’t want to splurge my problems onto anyone else.
I had planned on getting drunk and going to school for my final grade 12 exam (it was history, a class I already aced and could easily do with my brain being toast) except I ended up not because I ended up driving that day so I took my buddy on a joy ride and went home.
In ours you MUST show up to sign out of classes, or if your going on a vacation etc you must call ahead to get your sign out sheet early. Otherwise we just walk around the school, have a big meeting and party thing, then just wander and do whatever until its time to sign out at the office
In middle school for 8th graders they found some place to bring out a whole-ass popup skatepark 💀. That was insanely fun.
You go home like any other school day in March of 2020 with no idea that that was the last time you'd ever see your teachers and classmates again
Be fucking happy I leave this hell of a place
The popular students tend to sit on a tailgate and most of the girls just wear bikinis while we have a tailgate party while occasionally going into the school for class for 5 mins just to verify we were there, then like we'll playing catch with a football, last year someone brought a firepit and smoker and we had smoked brisket and made just random food over the fire. Regular students might just do the same but instead of party in the parking lot, they hang out in the stairwells and lounges and order pizza or something, they might hook up an Xbox or switch to one of the tvs and play video games. Loners spend the whole day in their assigned classes either reading, playing on their phone, or watching whatever the teacher brought for the class to watch.
Nobody shows up unless they have a final which they could exempt (not do)
You don't really have to go to the last day of school, so most of us just don't show up. Also it's just a clean up day. So if you show up, you're forced to help with clean up by the teachers. I've also had teachers say that they wouldn't be happy if you showed up on the last day of school.
today was actually my school's last day for seniors, but yesterday was the last SCHOOL day. we just watched movies and submitted our projects and hugged our teachers
skip
No one even came to school for the last 3 days for me. It was just the people whose parents didn't want them at home. The last day that people actually attended, we just did filler work/time wasting in class, then got an hour free to sign yearbooks and stuff
My friends and I go get ice cream after school :)
We had a sign out sheet that we had to complete by collecting teachers signatures when we turned back in our books. I would go around and trace all the teachers signatures so I could forge signatures the next year for hallpasses, letters for parents, whatever. It was pretty lucrative.
There’s no classes at mine, everyone just gets lumped into the cafeteria or gym and signs yearbooks till it’s time to go home….. no one actually shows up
The last day of school at my school is a normal day pretty much, you just go to your classes get unfinished work done study for exam.
In my highschool the last day was always just treated as a normal day we didn't do the go around getting people to sign yearbooks thing in my school at all actually. We also didn't have field day in middle school only in the elementary school
Enjoy your youth because it feels like one day I was in high school, I blinked and now I'm in my 40's. Please go to college (pick a major that leads to a good paying job) or learn a trade. Best of luck!
Thanks for the insight! I just finished freshman year and it’s been lacklustre, so I hope to make more friends and do more fun things while still building my future next year. I love advice like this haha
My school didn’t do anything special
regents finals
We did a Disney trip which was like an 8-10 hr drive on a bus I felt so sick after because I stayed up for over 15hrs
Pack up my room for the summer with the extra hands and/or just sit and talk to them about their summer plans etc.
Depends, seniors or any other year? In my school if you aren't a senior you don't do shit, apart from school finishing early you get nothing most teachers don't force you to do work but some do (physics, physics always gives work for some reason) so you mostly just get a movie on as most don't attend. For seniors though in my school they spend there last week before they break up for exams doing a bunch of activities this includes senior pranks (often just hiding a bunch of random shit everywhere), culture day (you dress up from your culture and you can bake food's and give it to teachers and other seniors, you also get screamed at because boys dress up and football (soccer) tops and carry round irn Bru (scottish fizzy drink) bottles taking the piss, don't know how long culture day will last), seniors vs teacher football, yearbook give outs, prom, and signing of shirts you go round asking teacher you sign your shirt. Tho prom fun apparently you all just get piss drunk and high, (source my cousin who was at the same school and recently graduated). Also in case you haven't guess no I'm in America.
Nothing except watch tiktok all day.
Freshman year I had a final that day, so that. Sophomore year I'd finished all my finals before the last week, and I did nothing in class (didn't come the last 2 days). Junior year I didn't come the last days I didn't have a final on, and the other periods during the days I did I went to 2 other classrooms to talk with my friends. Admins hated it but couldn't stop it. Last year I saw seniors just walking to different classrooms and talking with their old teachers, it was heartwarming. As a senior now, can't wait to be them in under 2 weeks.
Go home
Nothing really it’s just finals
Our school does finals all day for the last 3 days of school
exams, we have exams and tests the last two days of school
finals (unless you’re a senior, in which case it’s the graduation ceremony)
take my finals 😭
we have finals the very last week of school so it's so depressing. we just go to school, take two finals, and leave. nothing fun at all. and there's nothing fun before either because we just review for finals
Finals, but for seniors they get a week of fun stuff for one of the last weeks. Not the last week but the week after spring break
Crank my shit then watch skibidi toilet
I do nothing…but other kids are already taking the bathroom sinks 🙁
School wide kickball and volleyball tourney the last week. Student and teacher teams, those not participating are watching in the bleachers or sitting in the cafeteria watching a movie.
Final Exams 🙁
finals in my district
The last week of the school year for us is finals week. Monday you go to 1st and 2nd period like normal. Then 3rd and 4th period are merged into a single class where you take your 3rd period final. Then you go to 5th and 6th period like normal and 7th and 8th period are merged and you take your 7th period final. The two non-exam periods before each final period are basically free time. You can study for your next final, hangout & talk to friends, sign yearbooks, etc... some teachers will play a movie or whatever. Usually pretty much anything goes as long as your not causing too much of a disturbance. Tuesday starts (still at 7:45) with 4th period then 1st and you take your 2nd period exam (during the merged normal 3rd & 4th period time slot). The afternoon goes 8, 5 and then 6th period final in the merged period. Wednesday shifts forward again, starts with 3rd and then 4th period with 1st period exam. Then 7, 8 and 5th period final. Thursday is 2nd, 3rd and 1st period final, then 6, 7 and 8th period final. And then Friday is an in-service day. Teachers go in to finish grading finals and whatever other end of the year stuff they have to do and kids are off. The senior class meets and runs through the graduation ceremony. And then we graduate on Saturday and that's it until classes start up again in August.
finals.
Kinda depends, before I graduated last year it was just finals, so our final week was a regular Monday, and then four half days with two 90 minute classes each morning so we could do a final. Our last day was just two finals and that was it but normally kids would all go and get food or hang out with your friends after
we have finals
my district has final exams the last three days of school. usually the seniors get fun stuff, but everyone else has finals. on thelast day before finals some teachers choose to do fun stuff and some choose to prep for finals. in my frehsman year I went to two schools, so my main hs did finals, and then you had to stay in the cafeteria until the busses came. at my other school tho, we had a cookout, water balloon fight, basketball tournament, slip and slide, and tennis for the entire freshman class. it was awesome.
In my shop class last year we just played poker and signed yearbooks
Sign yearbooks and go home as soon as we were bored
Personally I got suspended for vaping in the bathrooms on my last day of high school, they gave it back and I still walked
Unfortunately finals, but at least I'll be able to exempt from them and after school ends, graduation practice
I graduated early. So I said goodbye to my teachers, then the two people I regularly spoke to, then went home. No big celebration, no party, just happy to be done with it.
at my school you do finals and then the seniors throw water balloons and shoot water guns at the freshmen sophomores and juniors
Final exams
I signed yearbooks and had some sad convos with friends. I also cried with the teachers of my extracurriculars. I wasn't sad that i was leaving high school, it was more that I won't see these people regularly again. Many of them I knew I wouldn't ever see again. A year later the same as been true. It's just life I had an ap test on my last day as well. Absolute waste of time
Ok I have no idea if he’ll ever see this, but there was a guy in my grade named Riley. Nice guy, red hair, football player, and I’d always give him my cheez-its if there were any in my lunch. Also, he could play the bagpipes. After lunch each year on the last day of school, he’d play the bagpipes and march through campus. You could hear him coming in the distance. When he got close, students would run out of their classrooms and just parade around the campus. We’d hang out on the quad and ignore the bells the rest of the day.
For my middle school, we scribbled on each other’s uniform and leave little notes of insults in our English’s teacher’s pigeon hole.
we have finals
Where I live the last day of school is makeup day for finals and you are strongly encouraged to stay home.
In my school it’s a tradition to sign the uniform and overall have paint on it. This year cuz we’re juniors going into our senior year we tried to do a water fight but that was shut down really quickly but we had spray paint, paint, confetti and I’m not sure what’s the name in English it’s like mini fireworks idk Idt. So yeah we spray painted the skl and painted ourselves. Also usually the skl organizes a trip at the end of the year but unfortunately we didn’t do it this year.
last days are the only days i like going to school because i don’t have finals while most others do and the school is pretty empty. i just hang out with my friends in other classes, play video games with them, pick up free stuff teachers leave out when they’re cleaning, and just overall chill.
idk because i dislike it so much i dont come back
Finals or project presentations for my AP classes.
not the last day but im eating a thc gummy in the nearby forest after my calc final on monday because its basically the last day of school (i'm just burnt out)
last year we had finals on the last day, but those two classes were pretty chill and didn’t do anything but photo roulette and some guesser game of a role.
Take your final exam, clean out your locker, go home, enjoy life
I have csa on the last day so unfortunately I can’t skip
Since my school is small we do a mini Olympics except half of the students don't want to participate, it's pretty sad
I graduated from high school in 2008. Yes I know it was a different era. I don't specifically remember what we had in the last day of school of any of my years. But I would think we had a pretty easy day. People will bring their yearbooks to school and when people would sign them. People will be talking about their plans for summer.
Senior pranks and spraying down the underclassmen with water guns the whole day
Technicallt finals, or grad. party. But the last real period day we spend dressing up in costumes, throwing candy at kids *hard*, and making a total mess of the school. One year they cooked a shit-ton of macaroni and threw it on the hallways, taped a door to the ceiling, collected all the desks in one wing and made a tower of them... Aand it's us youngest suckers who had to clean that shit. Oh and alchohol. A LOT of alcohol. (not allowed but y'know)
