Princeton High School is a public secondary school located on 807 Eighth Avenue South in Princeton, Minnesota, USA. The school is part of the Princeton Independent School District 477.
Princeton High School operates on a 8:10 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. schedule, which includes five class periods and a thirty minute lunch period. Students may not leave campus during this time due to the school's closed campus policy (with the exception of being taken to lunch by a parent or guardian).[1]
The Princeton High School Student Council organized a community effort to break the world record for simultaneously erupting coke geysers on May 27, 2011. The current record - 2,854 bottles - was set in October 2010 in the Philippines.[2] Hundreds of students participated with a goal of setting off a series of 3,000 geysers,[3] a figure they claim to have exceeded with 3,051 total simultaneous eruptions. Whether or not they broke the previous record will not be official until verified by Guinness Book of World Record personnel.[4] Students say the idea grew from a plan for a graduation prank into a way to put their small town on the map.[5] A video of the attempt was recorded by local newspaper Princeton Union-Eagle [6]
