Well, my old high school starts after Labor Day and gets out in the middle of June, we graduated this year the day before Father's Day. That's in one of the tourist areas of Virginia. I am taking a few college courses this year, not full-time just cc and hope for trasfers to wherever I decide to enroll. I'll start sometime in August I'm sure.
C~ya,
Carolyn

I'm not ENTIRELY sure about this, but at least sure enough to post. Virginia High Schools by law must start after Labor Day. The State needs our wonderful youthfull bodies to work at all the tourist spots in VA Beach, Busch Gardens, etc. I'd be upset, but personally I like starting late!

~Tom~, who only has another year left *whew!*

About that VA law Tom mentioned... I don't think it is a law. I know somw people all over the state who start school before labor day. It really depends on where you live as to when school starts. People in Roanoke go back to school in August sometime. There was talk of making a law about when school starts, but that got dropped like a ton of bricks. Too much of a loaded issue I guess. You know how political VA is.
C~ya,
Carolyn

My school starts August 13..we always start in August, just it's been earlier the last two years so we can get out mid-May. We would get out earlier 'cept we get all kinds of days out of school (about one Friday a month off and at least one early-release Wednesday per month..plus all the Jewish holidays). I like it, I guess.

~Angela who's stuck going back to school a week early for marching band camp *cringe*

Nothing wrong with band camp.

To all the band nerds out there..

I play clarinet. I"m not an officer or section leader, just a band member. Go me! I could never be drum major b/c it's pretty much half based on musical talent, which I have none of. I could maybe handle the conducting, but having to walk backwards in a parade..forget about it. lol

~Angela who is proud to be a band nerd and a FIRSTer

LoL, I've started calling myself Nerd All-Star. Some may do fooball in the fall, and then soccer in the spring, but I've one up them. *in a big tough guy voice* "Yeah, yeah, I do band in the fall (captain, you know), and then robotics in the spring. Maybe a little academic bowl somewhere inbetween."

I do "academic bowl" as you call it, as well (we know it better as Academic Team). I actually have some clout in a-team. I'm a captain. *listens for the "ooh..ahh.."* hehe Guess I'm a Nerd-All-Star, too.

Gotcha all

My junior year of high scool my team got a new soccer coach (she was a real piece of work). Our team had won AA states the previous year so no one was really all that excited about the new coach and her ways. I became the bench captain, played only 93 minutes the whole season (90 minutes is letter requirement). Eventually I got to keep the stat books. Needless to say I told her what I thought aboout her (it wasn't very nice).
C~ya,
Carolyn whose nice to everyone, unless they make her mad (that wasn't what I was going for but it's forum friendly)
