Forsyth County school officials are trying to get to the bottom of a 'senior prank' in which a sign containing a derogatory term was draped across a school building Wednesday, according to a report on Fox 5 News.

The sign proclaimed “N—-a we made it!” It’s a lyric to a popular song by rap artist Drake. The message was also written on windows at South Forsyth County High School.

The sign and window scribbles gained lots of attention after being photographed and shared on social media.

The school responded to the prank with this statement to parents, according to Fox 5:

“South Forsyth High School Parents: This morning, without our knowledge, students placed a derogatory sign with a verse from a song by Drake on our school as a senior prank. We removed it as soon as it was brought to our attention and deeply apologize for their behavior. This is unacceptable and I promise you that the students will receive the appropriate consequences for their actions.”
