Local fire department lifted principal’s daughter to roof for prom stunt

Just yesterday we wrote about how one Connecticut senior's grand romantic gesture got him banned from the prom. Today it looks like high-drama prom-goers in Texas are trying to outdo him.

Channel 2 News reports that Cypress Falls High School principal Becky Denton solicited the help of an entire team of volunteer firefighters to hoist her daughter onto the roof of the school on a ladder truck so that a young lothario could ask his classmate to the prom. You can check out more photos of the stunt on their website, which the news station found on Facebook.

A Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District spokeswoman told the news station that the principal has been told that "future prom events should not jeopardize student safety."

"She's sending a message to all of the children that were standing out there that it's OK to bend the rules, break the rules for what you want to do," local Aamund Bouvia said. The fire department pointed out that no student was unsafe because the firefighters are trained to help others use the equipment safely.
