Trenton residents are heated after a spelling error was printed on a new wrap applied to Trenton High School’s on-campus stadium.

On the back of the stadium bleachers on West Road between Fort Street and I-75, the façade was intended to say “Welcome to Trenton High School” in between two Trenton Trojans logos.

Spelling error on the outside of the school's on-campus stadium reads "Wecome to Trenton High School".

The error was posted to the Trenton High School Facebook group, unleashing a hoard of both disappointed and mocking comments from Trenton High alumni and nearby residents.

"Mrs. Moehlenkamp, my third grade teacher at Hedke, would have put a red frowny face on the spelling test of whoever did that. This is what happens when you hire people who never had Dorothy Moehlenkamp for a teacher..." commented Daniel Joseph.

"Apparently spelling isn't taught anymore!" commented Pamela Lang Wells.

"As a Trenton alumne I thank it loks pirfectly fien to me!" commented Jim Holz.

"Bummer & a shame, but let's fix it quickly and move forward," commented Jim Aoun.

School officials couldn't be reached for comment Sunday.
