Continued to ride the bike durning the school year after the tires were bent(in different directions), brakes ceased to exist, steel frame was rusted, and a number of other issues.

After riding said bike, Mike was reported saying "Yeah Jon, your bike is shit, the whole time I thought I was gonna die, thanks a lot." (paraphrased)

Unknown students illegally built a water barometer in the academy staircase in October 2007. It worked in the beginning and was calibrated, but at some point thereafter it ceased functioning, presumably from a leak that destroyed the vacuum at the top. The structure, which had it's base at the bottom of the main stairwell, but which had to be read from fourth floor, was taken down the same day it was constructed.
