A Littleton High School employee is on paid administrative leave following a chaotic senior prank that left classrooms and hallways in disarray. Teachers arrived at the building Tuesday morning to find toilet paper scattered across floors, desks covered in salt, and soap mixed with baby oil slicking the ground. One chair sat atop the school roof while students broke glass screens to gain entry to locked rooms. Math educators described the event as more than a simple joke. They noted that students used keys and security codes to let others inside before climbing onto the roof in the dark. An English teacher pointed out that pupils played near the edge of the roof, creating safety risks that exceeded typical pranks. The same educator compared the damage to vandalism at a private home, suggesting the responsible party would face jail time for similar destruction. Littleton police received no formal reports about the incident despite the visible mess. School police directed administrators to fix security gaps immediately. Those changes are now in place after the school board reviewed teacher feedback during Monday’s meeting. The district confirmed that students took responsibility by apologizing and agreeing to complete community service hours. Administrators continue to review whether further discipline is needed for those involved. The staff member placed on leave helped manage or supervise the event. No specific charges were filed with local law enforcement. The school district has not provided additional details about the employee’s role in the prank beyond the administrative action taken.
