Post a pic of your high school....

Mine- Baton Rouge Magnet High School. The facade is beautiful, as is the campus with its large lawn and mature oak trees. Unfortunately, the school board has let it fall into a state of disrepair. It needed renovation when I graduated in 1989, and I hear that now (if it weren't a public building) it would be condemned. There are talks to start the renovations soon- and they will hopefully be able to preserve the appearance.

On edit: The tower on the roof is an FM radio transmitter. The school is one of a handfull in the US that has a student-run radio station (WBRH).

(OOPS! I meant to respond to post #1.)

Sorry.

:rofl:

Lakes High School, Lakewood, Washington.

That looks like Macy's.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar graduated from there in 1965 under the name Lew Alcindor.

I never got to meet him though.

That must have been an interesting time to know him. He just got out of a Catholic school and was exploring Islam. Not to mention the press he was getting.

My sister went to UC Berkeley in 1965, but only stayed one year and transferred to UCLA and graduated from UCLA in 1969. She told us that she was dating Lew Alcindor, but we never got to meet him. I don't know who else she dated but she ended up marrying another African-American man named Nazrie and they were married for 7 years, but had no kids together. I thought Nazrie was a lot of fun, but my parents merely accepted him and my grandparents disapproved of the interracial marraige. So it was kind of a strange period in our family, but it's all ancient history now. Too bad I never got to meet Lew Alcindor, but they were in L.A. and we were in the city of Orange, an hour's drive away, and my sister never came home from school. Once she went off to college, she never lived with us again.

The second floor windows have the words: Knowledge, Virtue, Peace, Industry, and Government above them.

zzzzzzz:boring:

;)

Except they wouldn't let them shoot it for the movie. So they used some other HS that didn't look anything like it!

Evanston Township H.S. just outside Chicago. , I don't have a picture of the school, nor a clue of how to post one, but Mean Girls was filmed there, so if if you saw that , you saw it. ( and actually that's the only reason I saw that movie; had heard it wasn't that funny , but when I found out it had been filmed at E.T.H.S. , I had to)

It was a really cool building with a library sort of like the one in The Breakfast Club.

Even sideshows and circus acts like Britney and Jessica are more worthy of attention.

Should I tell you how I really feel?

:shrug:

Memorizing...

Of course I graduated in '79. How the hell is it 30 years already?!

That's me there with the big goofy smile on.

it was painted by See's Candies (their headquarters is next door):

Johnstown High. It was a grand old building!

This is the new (2002) K-12 building, which replaced the 2 old separate elementary and high schools. A few parts of the old high school, built in 1906, are left as part of the new school. The old elementary school was demolished in 2003.

Yours is awesome! Mine not too impressive! LOL

El Modena High School in Orange, California. (The school briefly made national news in 1999 when the district denied a student the right to hold meetings of a proposed Gay-Straight Alliance Club on the campus.) I graduated from this school in June 1977, though it was a blisteringly hot day and I watched the graduation ceremony from Chapman Avenue at the bottom of the picture, rather than attending the ceremony. (In addition to that, I once ran around that track naked except for shoes, one night in the summer after I graduated.) Also in the mid-1970s, my Mom and I lived for a year in one of the apartments shown at the bottom center of the picture, where the red X is. The satellite photo shown here is interesting to me - when I was a student, we were just planting an eco-garden area, and it was all just young plants. Now you can see that the plants and trees are fully grown (this is over 30 years after we planted them) in the area of the garden, where the blue X is in the picture above. It must be really beautiful now that it's fully grown. The main classrooms when I was there are the 4 buildings with the gray roofs at the top of the screen, but I can see that they've added a lot of buildings since I was there, mostly at the right edge of the screen.

I mean, really. Where was that?

I see people posting about alumni like Harrison Ford and Hillary Clinton.

I get alumni like George W. Bush. :puke:

Located right next to SugarHouse Park. It was originally on the grounds of the old Utah State Prison. The mascot is the Rams and the colors are black & white, a tip of the hat to the old prison.



It's ugly. But was a pretty fun school.

The original building was retrofitted for quakes, so that isn't what it looked like when the school was built.

This was the prison:

I went to Seaside High School in Seaside, OR my first two years but I cannot find any good pics.

Palm Beach High School as she was before a couple of metamorpheses:

for groping the boys some 40 to 50 years ago.

It was built back in 1912, and they stopped using it in the mid 90's due to asbestos and cost of upkeep. Nearly all my grandparents and both of my parents graduated from there. The new HS in Elkins is nice, but its got zero soul:

If the election in Ohio had been conducted honestly in 2004, I could have said it was "the alma mater of President John Kerry." :-(
