Students at Marion County’s River Valley High School arrived today to find 25 trees chopped off at their bases.

Students at the school said the trees were cut as part of the Class of 2014’s senior prank.

The Marion County sheriff’s office is interviewing two male students whose images were caught on security cameras at the school.

No charges have been filed, but Maj. Aaron Corwin of the sheriff’s office said he expected charges to come later today.

The students are reportedly seniors at the high school. Principal David Coleman said he is gathering as much information as he can, “and then I will have to make some tough decisions” about discipline.

 “We have had senior classes that have done various things as pranks, some with taste and some without,” Coleman said. “I don’t look at cutting trees down as a prank. I view it as an act of vandalism.”

Students said some of the trees that were cut down had been planted in memory of people associated with the school, but Coleman said he had not determined if that is true.

River Valley High School is in Caledonia, about 50 miles north of Columbus.
