A dead shark was found hanging from the rafters above a staircase at Ponte Vedra High School on Thursday morning, according to the St. Johns County School District.
The school district told News4JAX that the discovery was made about 8 a.m. and that the shark was cut down and removed. Since then, according to school officials, five Ponte Vedra High students have been identified by investigators as having hoisted the shark at the school on Davis Park Road.
The district also said it has turned over surveillance video of the shark being hung up to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office. As it is evidence in an investigation, it will not be released. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation commissioner on the way to the school confirmed they are investigating.Several people emailed photos to News4JAX of the shark that appeared to be circulating on social media, mainly on Snapchat. In the photos, the shark -- which is the school’s mascot -- looks gutted.“It’s kind of gruesome. I’ll be honest. That’s a pretty big shark too,” said Julian Chandlee, a Ponte Vedra High junior. “It’s in the main courtyard.
“I was going to first period, and there was this massive shark hanging from the ceiling, and it smelled really bad,” Gottfried said. “I was really shocked. I just didn’t expect to see that in the morning.” The St.John’s County School District confirms a shark was found hanging above a staircase at Ponte Vedra High School this morning. They don’t know who put it there. It was cut down and removed.
