Jonathan Holt, a teacher at Chalmette High School in Chalmette, Louisiana wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Iris, who also teaches at the school. Mr. Holt decided that given their relationship status at the school, he should enlist his students to help with his proposal.

Jonathan had her called to the principal’s office for a meeting. That’s when he put his plan in action.

With the help of a classroom of kids and a hidden camera, the entire proposal was caught on video.

And here is the celebration that followed.

Jonathan told BuzzFeed:

“I knew it was going to be a special moment – the beginning of an epic life together – and I wanted to involve as many people as possible because the more people that can share that feeling, the more powerful it is.”

Congrats to the happy couple.
