History[]
Rise to Fame[]
After receiving his education, Larry Mack retuned to his childhood middle school and became its principal. Unbeknownst to them, however, Larry had been embezzling money to start his car dealership. Once he started his new business, he quickly built up a reputation thanks to his charisma. The school even renamed itself to Larry Mack Middle School and placed a statue of Larry on the schoolgrounds. At some point, he had a son named Larry Mack Jr. Eventually, the school foound out about Larry's crimes, and he was arrested. It is said that the police came to take Larry away durring one of his car dealings. Sometime after this, his stature was removed, with only the Larry's feet remaining.
Legacy[]
Despite his incarceration, Larry still grew his wealth by writing an autobiography, which the middle school bought several copies of. Larry's business would be taken over by Larry Mack Jr., and his son Larry Mack Jr. Jr. Durring the events of No Brainer, Greg mentions that the school should have gotten Larry Mack to teach the kids about the wrongs of cheating, though they wouldn't be able to due to his incarceration. When the school needed to raise money, they had the local prison build desks for them, so its possible that Larry was involved in the consturction of the desks. When the state threated to close down the school, some students started praying to Larry's statue to help them. They placed candles around the staute, though the candles were deemed a fire hazard and extinguished by the school's cleaning robot.
Due to Greg's "intelligence," Larry Mack Jr. gave the school enough money to reopen. He renamed the school Larry Mack Junior Middle School and replaced his father's statue with a statue of himself.
