What high school(s) did you go to?
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 06:29 PM by mvd
Graduated from Lansdale Catholic High School in 1994. Finished with first honors. Their webpage is here:

www.lansdalecatholic.com

If you go to the faculty section, these teachers that I had are still teaching:

Mr. Erich Uhlenbrock
Mr. Stephen Probert
Mr. George Marker
Mr. James McIntyre
Ms. Sharon Williams
Mrs. Mary Ward
Mrs. Anne Pepper
Mrs. Mary Cunnally (only had for homeroom)
Mrs. Lucille Prichard
Mr. David Landers
Mr. John Cullen
Mr. Michael Galante
Mr. Douglas Grunklee
Mr. Al Pauzano
Mr. Mario D'Achille
Ms. Teresa Naughton
Mr. James Algeo

Very good retention rate, considering I graduated over 10 years ago now!

Also, I noticed that not many of the faculty members at LC have their own web pages linking to the main site.

5. A high school in the outer suburbs of Minneapolis
It has a website, but few of my classmates have posted their profiles.

I graduated so long ago that NONE of my former teachers are still employed there, although the children of some of my classmates are attending.

One of the comments for Mr. Cullen:

" 11/16/04 5 5 4 What are you peeps talking about,Cullen is the man.The things he says are helarious.To be honest, you are pretty dumb if you cant get above a 90% in there."

Guess I'm dumb - my final average was an 83. LOL again - I WAS a freshman when I had him, though.

9. University of Illinois Laboratory High School
also known as "Uni High". Very proud to state that we held the record for losing the most basketball games in the history of the state (I think the streak lasted 5 years). Obviously, I'm not sports oriented. :)

Only one in the class of '68 who posted a recent photo grinning and wearing tie dye on the page for our 35th reunion......

63. Maybe not
one of the features of this school is that you took 7th and 8th grade in one year. If I'd gone to public school, I would have graduated in 1969. At the time, it was cool to graduate a year early, but now everyone thinks I'm older than I am! (Like it makes a big deal to be 54 and not 55).:)

11. Brattleboro Union High School, Brattleboro, Vermont
Dropped out halfway through my senior year in 1979. Never really regretted it - I can't think of a thing I learned in high school that has benefitted me in life (at least anything I learned in formal classes). And I imagine all my teachers are either retired or dead.

129. I went there
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 02:27 PM by Ariana Celeste
4-5 years ago for one year, my first sophomore year. The actual year escapes me. I believe it was 2000-2001? It was the year we had that big earthquake that shut down the rural highway that most take from Fall City to Snoqualmie, the one that goes by the Falls. The earthquake ruined part of the school building where woods and psychology were held, and also created a large crack up the side of the wall of the gym.

I was eating lunch in one of the empty science classrooms when it happened. :). I am going to see if Two Rivers has a website with the instructors names, and see if I recognize the woman I am thinking of.


On edit: How friggin cool! The site had pictures on the staff page, so I found her quick! Elaine Burgener. She taught summer school at Mt. Si the summer before I started my sophomore year- she was cool as hell! I really liked her a lot and her son sure was cute too. The last day of summer school she had her son come in and he and I hung out together- we read to a slower kid (Harry Potter) and after school was out I went home with them and hung out a bit. I really wanted to go to Two Rivers to continue being taught by her, and my dad made me think I'd be able to but at the last minute (as in, the last day left to register at Mount Si) he told me no, I have to go to the regular school. Ass, I was so pissed off like you couldn't believe. Elaine made me *want* to learn, I was always one of the smart kids who was bored by school and didn't do anything, but she is a great teacher and made it fun for me. I am 100% confident that it was Elaine, I recognize her name and her face looks so familiar to me. Then again I'm a pothead. Lol. Anywho, she was awesome.

135. Can you post the link to the school page?
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 05:03 PM by Mojambo
I can't seem to find it.

I went to Two Rivers way back in 1991-1992. It was before they had acquired the permanent space they occupy now. When I went they were located in a converted two story office building.

I had an Elaine as a teacher but I'm pretty sure it's not the same one, unless her last name changed. Tom Athanases (who is the Principal these days) was just a math instructor back then. I still bump into him occasionally. Great guy.

http://www.snoqualmie.wednet.edu/redirect.asp?goto=http://www.snoqualmie.k12.wa.us/schools/trhs/index.htm

I had to look up "Snoqualmie District" to find it.

I didn't recognize the last name either, but there is a man who teaches there with the same last name, so maybe she just got married recently? Or it could be two different Elaine's. :).

Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 05:29 PM by Mojambo
She looks great in that picture, almost younger than I remember. Marriage must agree with her.

I love Elaine to death! She had as much impact upon me as anyone at Two Rivers. She put me on the school newspaper and really inspired my love of writing.

She used to take us to the park to study on sunny afternoons. What a great lady. I still hear the accent in her voice.

She's one of those teachers they make movies about.

61. It is far removed from today's warehouses for Yuppie Larva
It is federally funded, so it is free, and it is merit based. In Mexico, school is compulsory up to the sixth grade only. After that it is voluntary.

Preparatoria in Mexico is the functional equivalent of the honors program in American high schools. The structure is like that of the European gymnasium whose purpose is preparation for university.

I was too much of a hard-assed science freak when I was younger; didn't appreciate the liberal arts until I matured.

I'm currently researching Medieval Spain from just before to just after the discovery of the New World.

114. To Montezuma? No. To his people, yes
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 08:26 PM by Xipe Totec
No, I do not have any documented ancestors who are Amerindian. I've done Y-DNA testing and found out I am ethnically Semitic. This means I am probably descended from Jews or Muslims who were expelled from Spain in 1492 by the Catholic Kings. These are called the Exilers, or the Crypto-Jews. I was raised Catholic and my family has been catholic for at least the last eight generations.

I have great sympathy for the native people of Mexico. Many of their cultures were destroyed. But not all, and not completely. The Tlaxcalans allied themselves with the Spanish and did quite well. Some were be-knighted. The ruling classes of the Valley of Mexico also survived, including Montezuma's descendants. Some of the people in northern Mexico and Southern US are actually ethnic Tlaxcalans who traveled northward with the Spaniards and displaced the existing native populations of those areas. Many of the "Spanish" people in northern Mexico are actually descendants of Exilers trying to stay one step away from the Inquisition.

(on edit)

I've enjoyed the conversation and this is an interesting topic to me, but it is getting off topic for this particular thread. PM me if you want to continue the discussion in more detail.

Pleasure talking to you.

Class of '99. Yes, it's the same school where the teacher flipped out on the kid for not standing during the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance. (They played the National Anthem over the PA system at the beginning of every school day). Mr. Stuart Mandel (the aforementioned teacher) must be a fairly new acquisition, because he wasn't there when I was there.

92. I had the same English teacher as Paul
We received a very good education at this school, I was not a scholar like Paul. The teacher I remember after I did a search on google. We had a computer class at this school in the late 60's, also two civic/government teachers for one class . The english teacher's class was one of my favorite classes that I looked forward to,



Wellstone's English teacher, Gerry Shelton, told me that Wellstone was an outstanding person, a "giant in , personality, intelligence, and concern for others" even as a high school student. What impressed Shelton (as it would any teacher) was that his student was truly interested in what he was teaching.

Gerry remembers that when he finished his lectures on Emerson and Thoreau, Wellstone came to him and said, "You know, I think I have become a transcendentalist." This is an experience that makes it worth being a teacher.

39. And you seem so .....normal. Actually, I want my oldest to test for
scholarships there when she's in 6th grade. Otherwise we'd NEVER be able to afford it.

45. Hey lots of great 'normal' people go there
And I will be honest. I was a faculty brat. My dad was an administrator there for 25 years. So we all went there tuition free. And we had the best high school education in the area at that time. I will be grateful for this opportunity for the rest of my life.

And yes, I am as generous as I can afford to be when they hit me up for annual giving. :)

It's funny that since I now teach in 'the hood', I say I have really lived on both ends in this community. Gives me a unique perspective.

I don't know anything about the scholarships they offer now. But it's worth trying. It really is an excellent school.

Named after a lumber baron, not a large mound of dirt.
AHHS is still the only high school in Michigan to have a football team which went undefeated, untied and unscored upon (1973). I was a sophomore that year and worked on the newspaper, instead.
DUers MSchreader and Vince3 both went there too (in much later years). Other famous alumni would be Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Theodore Roethke and Jason Richardson of the Golden State Warriors.

37. What used to be Girls Latin School
in 1974. The school has since become Boston Latin Academy and moved from Dorchester's Codman Square to the Fenway area, near Boston Latin School, which 30 years ago was our sister (er, brother) school.

We had a graduating class of 150, I believe. I also have no idea of what teachers remain....it's been a long time since I was there.

My grades weren't perfect, but I was a classic underachiever, interested only in an eclectic series of things which have served me well since then. My SATs were 1250, I believe, but by today's standards, they're higher, since they did a re-scale of them in the early 90s.

My senior year there saw the introduction of (gasp!) boys into the school, which was when it began its change from Girls Latin School into BLA.

The school website can be found here: http://boston.k12.ma.us/bla/

They do have a website, as I discovered tonight. A few of the teachers there now were there when I was a student, but only a few. I noticed that at least one of my old classmates is a faculty member there now, and that my 7th grade English teacher is now the high school principal.

I graduated 21 years ago.

102. I loved my theology class
Not so much scripture or those things, but in my sophomore year, and senior year, I had two very awesome teachers. Senior year, our "theology" class was more discussion and debate of current events. Which meant a whole lot of talk about the moral implications of the Iraq war.

My junior year, I had an Ecology teacher that would have made a few of you here very proud. He's still probably the most liberal person I've ever met. On 9/11, we didn't talk much about it, other than to say that the way we've acted in the Middle East, we shouldn't be surprised that this is the result. Still probably the most fun I'll ever have in a science class.

You can probably still find it somewhere, maybe on CD (I have an old vinyl copy). The album is "If I Could Only Remember My Name," and the cover is a bright orange sunset with Crosby's picture overlaid (or underlaid, I can't remember). It's a great album that he made in 1971 with Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, and a bunch of other people on it. Actually, the name of the song is "Tamalpais High (At About 3)" and it's a beautiful instrumental with some vocal "doo doo doos." Check it out.

126. Upper Dublin High School
Home of the best womens public school swim team in the US (in the late 70's) and outrageously expensive Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.

Has to be the shabbiest high school in America located in a breath-takingly high-tax rich suburb. They keep building expensive junior highs/elementary schools, and then abandoning them, instead of fixing up the high school which desperately needs help.

I've posted about this before.

The teachers are all gone, the building's still there, but it's now the town junior high school.

142. The Mary Louis Academy
All-girl Catholic high school. I hated every minute of it. The teachers were good but (nearly) all the students were Heathers. Oh, just thinking about it is making my blood boil....

145. My boyfriend went to LC...
He liked it there, but it is apparently very um...Republican. Do you by chance remember Gary Engler (I think he was like the girls basketball coach or something)? He writes LTTEs ALL. THE. TIME. He wrote in to the paper once and said that my "heroes" are Libya and Syria and a bunch of other typical Republican BS :eyes:
