When I go to college in a year.

How about you scrape off as much mold as you can, bag it, and take it to the local TV station? Nothing works better to get people's attention as a bit of negative PR.

Syrius presents some excellent advice, Kasyl.

I was on staff with the school newspaper last year, and we talked about doing that several times. One staffer wrote an article on it, but by the time it had been edited, revised, and reviewed, it ended up as just a paragraph in our "Rants and Raves" column.
I might actually try it next year. Fear me, administators of high school!

No, scraping off and giving the TV people the sample won't work.
(Anyone can say that it came from the school ceiling, and TV people are sually to busy to get 'icky' stuff identified, anyway...)

Take a few GOOD pictures, and preferably a minute or two of video where you film the halways, then zoom in on the ceiling.

Even better, make that recording on a rainy day.

Then, while filming, scrape a sample into a sterile container, seal it and write sample number and location on the outside. Bring that container to a lab that can analyze it and get a proper report.

THEN bring it to your local newspaper or TV station.
(Reporters love it when you do all the legwork, and if you let them get all the credit, even better)

Ahh mold, silent death.. lol
When we lived in Oregon on the coast we had mold everywhere, my mom was sick the full 4 years we lived up there. She even got some form of bug in her lungs that burrowed into the walls of her lungs and caused great breathing problems for a long time after we moved here to dryer territory.
Insist on costly repairs, move or wait patiently for the giant medical bills to roll in.
