Alright, alright...something special about Irmo High School.
(a slew of possibilities come through his mind, not unlike Dave Lavery when Heidi's the caption contest subject)
Well, we were in the news around 1997-98 (or so) because the Indigo Girls were going to stage a concert in our gym, followed by an interview with The Stinger (the student newspaper). I'm fuzzy on the details, but apparently some parents got steamed (the Indigo Girls are lesbian), complained to the principal, and he cancelled the show. (They later performed a free show for high schoolers off-campus.)
Also, we have a freaking awesome AFJROTC unit. They've won the Sword of Excellence (think Chairman's, but for AFJROTC units in South Carolina) a few times. And their deputy group commander last spring wasn't too bad, either.
(True story: Last night, I went on a random Wal-Mart run with a friend of a friend. We were there, headed toward the checkout, and I bumped into the instructor, who I recently listed as a reference on a job application. He had some time doing it, though--he couldn't remember if "irresponsible" was spelled with one R or two. Then again, he says that to all the cadets--to the point that "irresponsible" is bookmarked in the dictionary in the room. I got the job, too.)
