    -Theres only about 400 people in the whole school and everyone knows each other's business.
    -Your grandmother went to the same school, same building many years ago and it still looks exactly the same.

    Not allowed to wear hats inside, guys not allowed to wear muscle shirts/wife beaters, not allowed to wear French connection sweaters (strong WTF?), water bottles not sold in the school, but coke, sprite, and other soda- no problem.

    It was the dirt brought into the gym that made it awesome.

    I get the hat thing and the muscle shirt thing (where I'm from it was just a respect thing/looking respectable thing) but the rest is like...what?

    When the halftime show done by the marching band was more popular than the game, and so were the people in it.

    That sounds like an epic high school I would have loved that.

    4 towns went to it, and there were only 500 people in it.

    The matching Band had to play Field Hockey Games, and Soccer Games (boys and girls)

    Field Hockey was more popular than Football.

    The dog to play ToTo in the drama play cost $3,000 for a professional acting dog.

    1) As a freshman, there were almost 300 kids. At the start of 12th grade, there were less than 130.
    2) Our varsity football team won less than 8 games... in the 4 years I was there.... TOTAL! (Just checked; they were 2-8 last year... sounds about right!)
    3) Our school had the highest percentage of African-American students in the entire city (e.g. 1 white guy in my grad class), and yet had the worst boys varsity basketball team EVERY YEAR... BY FAR! (Just checked; they're 4-1 so far this year; MUCH improved!)

    *ETA: Not just my high school, but citywide dress code (all grades) forbade boys from wearing shorts (even in late spring) or sweatpants unless for gym class or sanctioned sporting event.

    My aunt had one of the same teachers I did and she was 50 at the time I was taking the class. LAME!

    We only had a few computers at our school and it was a 1987 circa Apple and some Tandy TRS-80's... and our band was so "cool" they played Run DMC "You be Illin" during half-time!

    Our school had the highest teen pregnancy rate of the area. That was pretty awesome (I was among the small percentage who were not pregnant.)
