It's a bold statement, without doubt. But what's it trying to say?
Bringing to mind the ancient hillside chalk art of Britain, the administration of Plano ISD recently discovered that some ambitious primitive artist had decided upon the roof of Plano High School as the site of their - um - ode to the grandeur of mankind.
And I do mean MANkind.
According to blogger Streaming John, a WBAP traffic helicopter was the first to spot the (student?) art project. The picture you see in the linked post was apparently taken with a cell phone by the chopper pilot.
Sadly, the artwork was unsigned; thus it's unclear whether the spunky creator will receive the proper credit for his opus.

from what i've heard the school has tried to paint over it, but because it's so big, they were only able to paint over the straight lines (I'm not gonna name it..)

I didn't do it, but wish I did. I'm sure the PISD is careful about not offending any aerial tourists.
