Anything special about your high school?

<p>^ Not Exeter? no I didn’t used to go there.</p>

<p>My school has baby goats!
And baby chickens!
And bunnies!
And when they start to overpopulate, the Environmental Science class gets to skin the bunnies and eat them!</p>

<p>Oh, and apparently a ghost nun haunts the third floor of one of the buildings (I go to a Catholic school and nuns live on campus, so yeah).</p>

<p>I can see the Pacific Ocean from my math class.</p>

<p>We are surrounded by very VERY rich schools and we are the “ghetto”, even though we are still kinda rich. Average mix of kids, except witness live arrests third period! Pretty good baseball (21-1) and basketball (super-sectionals), but laughable (1-9?) football and pretty good (placers at state) cheer and dance.</p>

<p>I can see Russia from my school’s backyard.</p>

<p>We have a nursery… and it’s not for teachers.</p>

<p>I go to the largest Catholic HS in the US. Yeah… special…</p>

<p>One of the top 15 IB schools in the US and we’re just starting a ~$100m renovation that’s going to be finished right about when I graduate. -.-</p>

<p>My high school is a one-on-one school. We do our homework at school, so we have none when we go home. ;)</p>

<p>(Of course, I take on much more than average students and thus do a lot of work at home… but significantly less work than everyone else)</p>

<p>Uh…not so much with my school really…we have a lot of potheads.</p>

<p>Oh and Vince Papale, QB for the Eagles back in the 70’s, movie Invincible is based off him. Yeah he went to my school. Buuuuuut…that’s about it.</p>

<p>Amy Poehler graduated from our school?</p>

<p>And we all get free iPads…good times</p>

<p>My English teacher went to school with Tom Hanks. HAHAHA, but I don’t think that relates. :frowning: We’ve had a teacher show up on the news for something bad, we’ve been on the news protesting against the new school admin, and I don’t know anything else. Oh. And my school has me. :)</p>

<p>A member of Obama’s cabinent went to my school</p>

<p>my high school is the only high school in the United States that gives out Bachelor of Arts degrees. let’s goooo.</p>

<p>My school has asbestos in the ceilings and the floor tiles. And our principal recently completely cut funding for all sports except football, I see lots of fundraisers in the future :smiley:
We also have a rule against bringing water bottles from home.</p>

<p>Guess I’ve got it lucky, lol.</p>

<p>Haha, ya know, I like to think I’m building moral fiber and all. It’s really a pretty average school</p>

<p>We do have a really nice auto mechanics department… like prolly half a million dollars or more worth of tools and equipment</p>

<p>That’s cool.</p>

<p>We have a long history of traditions, and unmatched community support. I joke around and say that if you put a purple (our school color) sign up and said you were raising money for the school at the local grocery store, you’d have thirty cars to wash and a hundred links to cook by day’s end. The saying around the school is that we would bring 10,000 fans to a chess match, and 20,000 if we were playing our rival school (seriously, we hold the national record for fan attendance at a high school event). We have a fan-run message board so that alumni around the nation can keep up with what goes on at the school, and we were ranked the fifth best all-around school in Texas as recently as 2005.</p>

<p>That and all of the kids at the other local schools pretty much hate us.</p>
