The poster/hacker actually addresses this -- he doesn't reveal himself until after graduation, keeps his fellow hackers secret still, and mentions that he was most likely the prime suspect in the district anyway. Seems like a fair tradeoff if he wanted to make this blog post, though school districts could be nasty and litigious, I guess.

It's still a terrible idea to admit to committing a crime under your real name before the statute of limitations has run out

Is there even a statute of limitations for this kind of thing? Seems way better to just never admit to it at all.

The CFAA has a statute of limitations of 2 years.

Pretty sure there's nothing stopping the school district from retroactively recinding his graduation, or refusing to send transcripts to universities, or informing those universities of his transgressions, which would probably result in revoked admission.
