Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

Hrmf. Until last January, we were the only public high school in CT to have 9th grade at a jr. high. And two years ago it took 15 attempts [referendums](a record in the state, close to one nationaly) to pass our budget. But that was after a few school board people stole about 3 million dolllars from the school.

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

RUHS is the second largest campus west of the Mississippi. It is over a mile long. We have 10 minute passing periods because of it.

Also, it is our 100th year

Past alumnuses: Charles Lindbergh (for about 5 months), Demi Moore, The Smothers Brothers, among others.

Not to mention our school is falling apart. Our science building is from the 20s, our "alumni walk" has sinkholes from all of the rain, and we have had to fire 3 different construction contractors because they fell behind.

Oh yeah, our school sounds like your's Ben (although I think that you don't post here anymore).

Talking Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

Our school is all girls and some of the students currently attending are awesome! Like one of my friends tried out for a role in Spanglish and one of our freshman is a really popular model, Dana Marcollini, she's trying out for Calvin Klein.

In all, our school has really improved our charisma and our confidence as girls! So we can rock on at robotic competitions! lol

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

Our high school gets the award for being the most liberal HS. (if you find a more liberal one, let me know) In any given classroom there are literally only a couple of conservative people. But then again, Ithaca is a very liberal city in a surrounded by very conservative towns on all sides.

"Ithaca is 10 sq. miles surrounded by reality" -so true

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

We are the oldest school in our county. We have a cricket team. We have just about the worst Lacrosse team in the state of GA but it is the best in our schools history. We went from having our best baseball team ever last year to having our worse only because it is all sophmores.

We had the best RB in the state and still only went 2-8 in football this year. We got 6 of our wins revoked 3 years ago for having a 21 year old on our team who only warmed the bench.

Every year we initiate our frosh by soaking them with water guns during our 1st peprally and we had our last years robots with a water compressor last year and it had an arm that leaned forward an could get to like 12 ft high and we got it to be able to soak some of the freshmen down.

Our ROTC is the 2nd best in the state. Our drumline is the 2nd in the state also.

And our principal goes out in his car to find people to make sure that all the jr's take their graduatin tests.

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

I think one of the great things about Perry Meridian High School is that there are so many extracurricular clubs and sports teams. If you can't find an activity to join, then you're not looking. Our wrestling team is a perenial powerhouse and we also do pretty well in our other sports. I also love how many scheduling options we have with tons of different classes such as Project Lead the Way. In fact, I wish we could have another period added on to the school day so I could take classes like programming.

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

My school was the only school in AMerica (As pointed out in the USA Today) to have "Orientals" as their mascot. No FIRST robotics team til this year (1567 the Shock-A-Bots).

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

The Plymouth- Canton Educational Park (P-CEP), a 305 acre campus site in western Wayne County, is the home of three large comprehensive high schools- Canton, Salem, and Plymouth High Schools. Completed in 2002, the buildings house approximately 280 teachers, counselors, administrators, human services and learning specialists and a student population of around 5,500 grades nine through twelve. The curriculum is extensive with 183 units of credit taught during the school year. Courses in the basic core are supplemented by a variety of enrichment opportunities including 13 Advanced Placement offerings.

--Quote from P-CEP Program of Studies

Some other features of the Park include two football stadiums (Varsity and JV), an operational radio station, TV studio, 3 full gyms, 2 pools, complete auto shop, 3 school stores, 2 theaters, cafe for teachers, security force, police on site 24/7.

All the schools have their own sports teams, all the clubs(40+) and the Robotics team are combined.

As for spirit Canton and Salem have been rivals for more than 30 years so the Canton/Salem games are big events and the varsity football game is huge.
Through all of this our robotics team has grown to almost 100 students and is gaining some recognition. This is the first year varsity letters could be earned for robotics.

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

My high school is nuts for the class of 05'. NMB senior high (my school!)

-like 3 seniors going out of state for college
-The prom: no prom king (lol) and like 2 prom queen selections
-athletics is pretty decent, but they care more for football and baseball
-The student population is like majority black and hispanic folks. asian population is 5% (wow)
-barely anyone cares about robotics in my school. (all of them think it's battlebots)
-a common stereotype within my school about the magnet program. "people in the magnet are nerds" so not true
-barely any school spirit for the seniors (odd)
-the tv studio for tv production class got vandalized before my christmas break.
-too much thug like people around the school, heck security guards don't even care.

Yea my school can get crazy most of the time.

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

My school is extremely non-traditional.
-It's a technology school (1:1 Student to PC ratio)
-We get our own school email and all of our assignments are on Lotus Notes databases.
-Everything is project-based.
-About 100 students per grade
-6 more graduation requirements in addition to California standards
-We have no music or sports programs, but we're allowed to do them at other schools in town.
-There are several Tech High replicas throughout the nation
-Important people come for student-led tours of the school
-We've been nominated to be one of the top 25 schools in the Nation.

Edit: It's New Technology High School in Napa, CA, by the way.

Re: What is special about your HS, or School that you go to

ok my school, probably is in the weirdest and best 5% of all high schools, we do a LOT of weird stuff:

-you are constantly reminded of the high SAT expectations, average on the old SATs was some crazy number like 1270, and its going up
-because we are a "blue ribbon school of excellence" your science classes are never in the same order as anyone else's, Freshman take Physics, Sophs take Chem, and Juniors take Bio
-most students are upset with a 98% on an exam
-tables spin the bottle at lunch to see who throws out the trash <-- LOTS OF FUN
-Our history teacher wrote our textbooks
-the "whole" school has a xanga and an ipod, fine only 90%
-We are number 1 in the world in AP Art History
-90% of students take an AP class
-asians have crushed the european's hopes of every becoming valedictorian
-a certain administrator loves to hear the sound of his own voice and the intercom is his favorite toy
-while walking out to your history trailer sawdust often blows on your head...no it's not snow
-the average senior car is a BMW or a Lexus
-Dungeons and Dragons has a cult following, same with Stairway to Heaven
-At school dances everyone sings Bohemian Rapesody
-half of the graduating class will go to Rutgers
-You know at least 15 people going to an Ivy League College when they graduate
-fights erupt between grades during Spirit Week, between the boy powder puff cheerleading squads

There is a ton more, but thats just how weird we are.
