High School Class of 2017

@topaz1116‌ Yeah, and my school was only built for 2500 so its a bit overcrowded. But we don’t have lockers or anything so we don’t have to worry about that.

My school is on a blocked schedule, so one day it’s 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th periods. The next day would be 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th periods. Classes are 90 minutes a day due to that (and can be horrible if a class is boring). We get 6 minutes in between classes (used to be 7 min but oh well, our school is small anyway).

Can anyone help me with a girl? Sorry if that sounds weird, but please check out my last thread.

@dsi411 ah; our school was built for 1600 and it’s got ~2200 people. They’ve added a new building since the schools’ inception, but it’s still overcrowded. Last time the school had this many people, they redistricted an entire elementary school. Apparently they’re planning to do that again (or at least, move some of the people from one elementary school to another), including to the place I live; however, that’ll probably come into effect after I graduate, so I shouldn’t have to worry about it. Freshmen and sophomores have to share lockers (unless there’s lockers left over afterward that they want to switch into) with one other person, and they’ve added in lots of new lockers and moved quite a few around.

@Faultystart Well, people somehow still end up getting to class late

@apandia oohh la la :wink:

it’s k I have those problems too

@topaz1116 we don’t even have lockers

@Cornbread1999 wait what. Does your school have class sets for all textbooks? But tbh I don’t really use my locker much. I’ll probably use it more next year when I don’t have class sets for any textbooks (right now we don’t have class sets for math, but I don’t need to bring it home every day either since I use an online textbook for homework and tbh I don’t even do math homework half the time).

I’m recently starting to use my locker a lot because I found a path I can use to get my things when I need them between classes and during 10 minute break. It’s saving me lots of back pain lol… every teacher insists on having a binder for their class :confused: Like i can’t even combine binders and that just makes me mad. why must they make life so difficult…

I used to use my locker (there’s a way for me to get there every two periods) but… work. I only use it occasionally now.

hahah the struggle!

We don’t have lockers so I just have to carry around my heavy backpack on my back the whole day. However, I only have one binder…

@topaz1116 yeah, my school has class sets of textbooks haha

@Cornbread1999 lol your school is richer than mine as a general thing xD Actually all the schools on similar pars to ours–the one that starts with an S and has the amazing band program, the one nearby the previous one which starts with an L, the one whose initials are MV–get more funding than my school. Our district is too big and the other high schools (barring one, whose API is still like sixty points lower than ours) are all really bad :confused:

My locker is on another level than all of my classes. I don’t go down into the basement except to get stuff out of my locker.

@Faultystart my school is outdoors (AKA multiple, mostly single-story buildings (except for this one new building that’s home to some English and history classrooms; it was built after an old building was demolished), all our lockers are inside wings), so it’s more the wing of the school your locker is in than anything. For example, most of the freshmen have lockers in this one wing (I don’t know any upperclassmen who do), because it’s the designated “freshman wing.” Or at least, it has become that in the history of our school. The seniors, who get to pick lockers first, and the juniors, who pick next, generally have their lockers in a wing used for history (plus a few math on one side of the wing) classrooms; those are the newest lockers. Sophomores and a few juniors have their lockers in a wing that’s mostly math and science. Some also have theirs in an English wing; but that wing is just generally out of the way so most of the people there are really unlucky. They’re getting rid of (and maybe replacing?) the lockers in the performing arts wing, since they’re really old and covered in graffiti. The lockers in the gym quad are also pretty horrible.

They just refurbished a lot of lockers, though :smiley: I got one of the refurbished ones this year, and my friend and I are very thankful for that. We pretty much chose randomly, since we didn’t really want to wait in line (I had to go to practice, and the line was super-long). We basically just put down the wings we’d prefer our locker in in order of priority.

@topaz1116‌ My school is mostly one building, but there are two separate gymnasiums, a separate arts center and a separate cafeteria. There’s also the middle and elementary schools. In general, freshman lockers are in the basement level of the building, but I am the ONLY sophomore with a locker down there (lucky me). Everyone else’s lockers are on the first floor.

hahaha @topaz1116 our rival school gets wayyyy more funding than us because they are on the even RICHER side lol. Our orchestra was the first orchestra from California to get accepted to the Midwest Clinic, which is this super prestigious selective musical thing. I know because I was part of the orchestra last year.

And I know exactly which schools you are talking about.

Wait…if you’re sharing lockers, won’t there be trust issues?

My school is similar description to yours…lots of single story buildings (with the exception of the math and english building) constructed. They surround two large quadrangles with a central building. There are even more plans to demolish the central building and the music building to form one huge quadrangle. As if the construction of the new 2 story math/english building, a new world language building, a new gym, tennis courts, pool, track, baseball diamond and renovations of the existing gym wasn’t enough.

Oh but wait until you hear what our rival school got lol

Saturday the low is supposed to be over freezing! I’m so excited!

My teachers are giving me so much work that I can’t find time to work on my projects ;(

@faultystart and my classmates are complaining about the cold when it barely dipped below 55 degrees F in our area :))

@Cornbread1999‌ If it was 55 degrees, I think half my school would be wearing shorts and t-shirts.
I’m supposed to have a three day weekend this weekend, but I have a bowling tournament one day that is like from 8-5 :frowning:
