Whats so "great" about your schools

I think the best thing about my college is that it has a 99% pass rate with A-levels?

idk it's pretty normal, really.
 
I don't know.

The only famous people who went in my school are David Davies, Tanni Grey-Thompson and Mark Isherwood, Jamie Ringer and Tim Naylor.

Apart from that, our school has the highest building in the area, and has the greatest teachers in the world. Especially Donald "Trump" Clarey, my Business Studies teacher.
 
we're supposed to be the best school in the city with an entrance exam designed to weed out idiots but we're still infested with them and the pace of the lessons is slow enough to gradually drive me insane

:(
 
Well, it's named after Herbert Hoover...oh wait.

My great-uncle was principal there, long before I went there. Um...And our school colours are green and white. Yay green~

My other school is awesome though. World famous, best teachers evar and it's built out of bricks made of pure coolness.
 
Uh, our walls are still pretty white...

Yeah my school sucks with everything unless it's something I don't care about. :B
 
It's completely and utterly unremarkable.

And it has some of the worst school buses in the world, one of which I travel on.

Pretty much the only good thing about my school is that our choir is the best in the district <3
Click to expand...

*ahem*mine is still better LOL!!!!!

oh and i found out a few good things actually, our softball team won at states in 2003(now we seem to suck even more wen i say that lol)but it is some what brag worthy
 
Mine has me
best reason ever

I actually can't think of anyth- OH the books in one of the history rooms are from 1975 and people over the ages have wrote epic messages in them. One was "GODDAMNIT THATCHER"

yes that is pretty much the best thing
 
It's the most racially segregated school in north america

well not really but pretty fucking close, recently we've got some more minorities so we don't get that title.
 
~ We have a great chorale. (Competing musical group for those who don't know)
~ All girls. (Very good in my situation. ^^)
~ Random dance parties. [/thread]
 
~Our band is known as the best in Weld County, which is fucking insane considering we live in a small town that's half an hour away from the nearest city shown on the weather part of the news. Our choir and band (I'm the only female trumpet player) won two awards at Six Flags, so our instructor went on the Tower of Doom (which she hates) for us. Most of the kids insisted she go twice, but she only did it once D: Anyway, the band I play in won by playing "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith." Played the opening part, Anakin's Betrayal, and Anakin vs. Obi Wan, whoo :D
~We're known to have the highest CSAP (yearly exam) scores in the whole state of Colorado. If we either 1)Go up a level in one subject (reading, writing, or math) 2)Gain 75points in a subject or 3) Be Advanced (highest level) last year and stay Advanced, we get a trip to Six Flags. I think this year over 200 people went, and sixth graders don't even get to go. Atleast 60% of them were in my year, including me :D
~Our football/volleyball teams win atleast 80% of all the games they participate in, and the boys playing football for us are skinny like me.
~Our teachers are insanely fun. Last year (6th grade) teachers for me...:
-One of the first things we learned about in biology was a plant's sexual life. We got to dissect flowers and the teacher made us play close attention to their sexual parts (ours was female-only, waah ;-;)
-Our math teacher set up an actual society: we got jobs (I was librarian, insanely easy; had to get spare books out of the cabinet where they were kept when someone forgot theirs, checked them in and out), got monthly salaries, and had to pay a monthly mortgage on our desks. If we couldn't pay, then we had to sit on the floor (my arch-nemesis had to sit on the floor the whole year because he didn't do his job, which was custodian >:3). If we got enough money, we could buy our desks (3 x the mortgage) and never have to pay for it again, and we could buy other peoples' desks too (3 x their mortgage) and get their mortgage every month (if they could eventually get 3 x their own mortgage, they could buy their desks back to themselves). We also had monthly auctions with our leftover money, and kids were always bringing in neat stuff like color-changing pencils, candy, and I even brought a book that I accidentally bought two of (Moonrise from Warriors). Got $100 for it and managed to buy my own desk with that.
Unfortunately, it wasn't real money ;-;
-We got to read Macbeth in language arts. It was fun drawing pictures of the witches and eventually coming to parts that were mature, including the part with 'whore' in it :3 (unfortunately, we had to skip the part where the porter ranted on and on while he was drunk about sex D:<)
-Our FACS teacher did (and still does) just let us spend a few days watching things like Finding Nemo and drinking hot chocolate that we make ourselves (she says Finding Nemo teaches us about friendship)
-Most of what we did in TECH was play computer games (my favorites were The Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum) after we finished typing (which lasted for about a week)
-In SHOP we got to make cutting boards and drill holes in things, whoo.
This year (7th grade):
-Our World History teacher has some kind of short vase thing that says 'ADVICE' on it. If you take the cork out of the top it has candy inside :D So far I've gotten a Starburst, a Tootsie Roll, and a Jolly Rancher.
~Last year in band we played 3 pieces: Ancient City of Stone, Iriquois Sunrise, and The Tempest (whoo, that piece was creepy)

Can't think of anything else right now :P
 
Our marching band is one of the only two flight 1 marching bands in my part of the state. My show this year is Holst's First Suite: Expressions in E flat, and I have been told that we are probably the first high school band to even attempt it, because it's apparently really hard musically.
 
Our girl's soccer team went undefeated for at least 3 years and won state 4 years in a row (with the 5-peat possibility this spring). Girls won volleyball, basketball, and soccer state all in one year. Boy's soccer went undefeated for 2 years or so as well. We have an ACT average of 23.2. We have three Korean exchange students (total school size is 800ish).

Our mascot pillaged Palestine and killed Muslims in the Middle Ages, so yeah...
 
We have seven wild geese that return to our school every summer, and they've just had nine goslings! <3

Pretty uncommon in Australia. But then our school is right on the Swan River, so.
 
My school is great because I can go to school in my PJs if I want, and I don't have to be awake and at the bus stop at 5am.
 
Urm, we're one of the few schools to have a pure Philosophy class. Other courses mean you have to study religion or something similar with it, but we just have to look at Philosophy.

Speaking of which, Philosophy is the best thing here. We have a crazy teacher who is just awesome and we get to study the Matrix and zombies. :3 Oh yes.
