North Pointe Preparatory was a public charter school located in Phoenix, Arizona, that served students in grades 7 through 12.

North Pointe offered dual enrollment and advanced placement classes, which gave students an opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school.

The shirts drew attention immediately due to the fact that, in much larger font, the statement was abbreviated "WTF", an obscene phrase.

After the video was published to Facebook, some parents informed local news channels claiming the prank was in poor taste, with one even likening it to the Columbine massacre.
