When principal Scott Lockhart pulled into the parking lot at John Taylor Collegiate Friday morning, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he was seeing what he thought he was seeing.

Hanging from the school's roof was a giant white tarp with a spray-painted message, School For Sale!!, followed by John Taylor's office phone number. Vice-principal Rod Gilhuly was already there, taking a picture.

"I had a great big smile on my face and I said, 'That's a good one!' " Lockhart said.

The prank was the brainchild of Colin Toews and Brandon Clark, a pair of Grade 12 students who came up with the idea during a lull in a recent math class.
