Hazard High School pics showing ‘students giving principal LAP DANCE’ and cheerleaders ‘in Hooters outfits’ spark fury

SHOCKING photos appearing to show high school students giving their principal a lap dance and cheerleaders in Hooters outfits has sparked outrage in a Kentucky town.

An investigation has been launched after the images of a homecoming week "man pageant" were posted on Hazard High School's now-deleted Facebook page.

The photos appear to include cheerleaders dressed in Hooters waitress uniforms and carrying what seems to look like alcohol.

And others show a male student giving school principal Donald 'Happy' Mobelini - also the mayor of Hazard - a lap dance.

There were allegedly also "paddlings" given out between staff and students.

Superintendent of Hazard Independent Schools Susan Combs has launched an investigation, and said disciplinary actions have taken place. 

In a statement from Combs on Wednesday, she said that while the district supports creativity in the spirit of school activities, the incidents depicted in the photos were taken "too far".

Combs also said that disciplinary actions have taken place and that all district staff will undergo social media and policy training before apologizing on behalf of the district.

Twitter users are expressing shock as the photos continue to circulate showcasing the homecoming festivities.

One user wrote "Um. Exactly what is going on here, y’all? C’mon Hazard. Get it together".
