Nineteen high school seniors are planning to hold their own ceremony, after their school banned them from the official graduation today for touching off a bomb scare.
The students will still get their diplomas.
But, they are facing felony charges for duct-taping alarm clocks to the walls of Hendrick Hudson High School in Montrose, New York.
The clocks were supposed to go off during class. The students say it was just a prank.
Motion detectors at the school caught them in the middle of their plans.
The teens are facing more than a year behind bars on charges of placing a false bomb and trespassing.
Fifteen have entered not-guilty pleas.
