The school liaison officer said Glendale police are investigating theft and damage, but the department has not released any official documents about the crimes. Students said in addition to a broken window, and a teacher's laptop tossed into the pool, someone stole a mannequin and hung it outside the office. That mannequin had principal Greg DePue's name on it.

The theft and damage continues the controversial Homecoming week Nicolet has had. A group of about 60 Nicolet High School seniors took Homecoming Week to a new extreme Wednesday, bypassing the scheduled theme of "Pajama Day" and substituting their own theme: "LAX Bros and Preppy Hoes."

But that circumvention of traditional homecoming dress-up day was only the beginning. 

Nicolet students did not take part in the annual pep rally Friday afternoon after administration and Glendale police made a decision to cancel the event because of a "possible disruption."

All tips will remain anonymous. 

If you have any information, please contact the North Shore Crime Stoppers at 414-962-4258 or the Glendale Police Department at 414-228-1753 between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
