ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — As the investigation continues in Alamance County following destructive senior pranks at various Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) high schools, the district released photos of the vandalism Wednesday. 

Maintenance crews had to clean overturned desks, lockers, graffiti, eggs, trash, and other acts of vandalism at Western, Eastern, Southern, Cummings, and Graham.
