Haha, as you can tell from the responses, no we do not. But I do remember something similar I had locally -- we had Beach Week in which kids who just graduated (17 or 18 under legal drinking age) would go to beaches all over the mid-atlantic coast (I went to Myrtle Beach) and just get drunk for a week straight.
The school had nothing to do with it but it was a known tradition like "are you going anywhere for Beach Week?" and many parents signed off/paid for their sons and daughters to do this. I guess (like safe grad) it's some kind of preparation ritual for kids and parents.
