List of World
Records for Student Groups and Schools
World
Records for Schools (WRS) publicizes world records by student groups
and schools which are breakable, challenging, competitve, unique and verifiable.
WRS particularly emphasizes and recognizes world records which involve
groups of students (of three or more individuals) at public and private
educational institutions.
At the present time there are several organizations
that list, certify and/or publicize world records accomplished by student
groups and educational institutions. They include:
Book of Extreme Facts (BEF)
Guinness
World Records (GWR)
International
World Record Breakers Club (IWRBC)
Limca
Book of Records (LBR)
Mormon
World Records (MWR)
Other
Record Breaking Sites (via BAR)
Record
Holders Republic (RHR)
Record
Setter World Records (RSWR)
Ripley's Believe It Or Not (RBN)
The
Book of Alternative Records (BAR)
World Records Academy (WRA)
While WRS recognizes world records accepted
and/or authenticated by the above organizations, it only publicizes world
records which it feels does not compromise the health and safety of students
and schools. As always, schools should avoid sponsoring any record attempt
that could jeopardize the safety of students and faculty. Also, WRS recommends
that record attempts be conducted during non-instructional time--such
as after school has been dismissed or on holidays or weekends, and that
all profits from such record attempts be donated to appropriate and reliable
charities.
In the past, schools or groups of people
have attempted the world records listed below. After contacting the organizations
that endorse or certify these records and carefully reviewing the rules
and risks associated with these events, schools and student groups might
wish to consider attempting one or more of these records:
