Gulf High School in New Port Richey hit the real estate listings Monday morning.

It came as a shock to many who saw the post on Craigslist.

"Oh my gosh, is that for real, because that's pretty detailed," said Jasmin Stitt when she saw the ad.

But the Pasco County School District said for sale signs are not going up at GHS.

Seniors, Domenic Crisafulli and Tanner Abbott said the whole thing was a senior prank they pulled Monday morning.

"We've been planning ahead a little bit and then we just decided to do it," said Abbott.

Touting what Gulf High School has to offer, the ad listed everything from a full-size track and football field, to parking lots and locker rooms.

Pictures were even posted to help seal the $500,000 deal, and only serious inquiries were asked to reply.



Turned out, students trying to sell their school made for a pretty good joke.

Students, even administrators said the prank was clever, well-thought-out and harmless. But some people questioned the bargain price.



"$500,000 is a good deal,” said Pasco County Schools Spokesperson Linda Cobbe. “To build a new school is $50-60 million."

The jokesters say their prank was successful. The ad was online a few hours before it was removed.

The District says the students will not face any disciplinary action and stress the school is not for sale.
