<p>when..
-After the STAR tests, your school rewards each and every student with number two pencils that read: "MVHS STAR STUDENT" to thank you for putting it up there as one of the highest ranking schools in America.
-When the Wall Street Journal thinks your school is such an interesting phenomenon that it writes on article on it. And the article is very er, interestingly received by students, parents, and staff alike.</p>
<p>--When your faculty sends their children to the school IF they can get in & are thrilled to be parents of a student as well as faculty members. </p>
<p>--When nearly all students who take AP courses get 5s (with a few getting 4s).</p>
<p>--When faculty members give all HS students their home phone numbers, IM info & e-mails, telling them they're available whenever the kids want to reach them.</p>
<p>--When faculty are there for the kids after school & on weekends & buy the students pizza to keep them going (& all the kids give the teacher loads of food to replentish the suppy they consume during the year).</p>
<p>--When jewelry & money that is left around the school is often still there MUCH later (end of the day or even beyond), waiting for the owner to reclaim. Theft is not unheard of but pretty unusual.</p>
<p>--When your school enters a World Quest Team in a state-wide competition on a lark & wins 2nd place in the state out of 42 teams.</p>
<p>--When your school has security guards at every entrance & great relationships with the police, including a room where they can "hang out" & parking spaces & off duty officers directing traffic daily. Would you believe very little vandalism or crime of any sort at the school? Wonder why?</p>
