Senior Skip Day

A day chosen by a high school senior class for the entire class to skip school. Typically falling on the Monday after prom, it tends to infuriate teachers and school administrators alike. The day has become less popular in recent years as the bureaucracy of public schools in the United States is becoming increasingly communist. For those who participate, the day continues to symbolize rebellion against overcomformity and the American desire for individuality.

Jackie won't participate in senior skip day. She enjoys being a slave to society too much.

Senior #1: Hey, when is Senior Skip Day?

Senior #2: Johnnie told me it was Friday, May 15th. What should we do that day?

Senior #1: I don't know. Maybe we could see if we can drive out of town for the four-day weekend

Parking lot on Skip Day at Ward Melville High School on November 1, 2011.

Skip Day (also called Senior Skip Day, Ditch Day, Senior Ditch Day, Cut Day, Senior Cut Day, or Senior Sluff Day) is a tradition in American schools where students in the senior class skip school.[1] It is commonly held the school day following senior prom or another large event.[2] Often, students will gather at an alternate location during skip day.

School administration reactions can vary greatly in response to Skip Day. Some schools openly encourage the practice, helping the students pick a day to take off and advising teachers not to schedule exams on that day.[citation needed]

There is no generally agreed-upon beginning to the tradition, but there are records of skip days as far back as the 1930s.[3] The film Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a catalyst for several Senior Skip Days in the 1980s and mid 1990s.[citation needed] At Caltech, "Ditch Day" has become an annual tradition.[3]
