    Our FFA had Donkey basketball one year....actually that's what made my HS awesome..

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

    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.

    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.

    -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.

    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!

    When your freshman class had about 1200 people and your graduating class had less then 500..Yeah we have a high drop out rate..

    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.)

    It's pretty lame when the track coach happens to be your P. E. coach, and he finds ways to 2 markdowns you to death because you wouldn't go out for track.

    110 people in the ENTIRE school. And it was a K-12 school. Graduating class was all of NINE of us.

    Reminds me of my school. There were 2 small K buildings. One large building with 1-6 on one hallway, 7-12 on the other hallway. It was very strict and we didn't have a band, football team or a prom. I thought it was lame back then, but I'm pretty proud of it now.

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

    I was a proud band geek! It was a great experience, lots of friends, different cities every weekend, and I was in great shape because I was in color guard....and we were really good

    Same here - two years in flags, including a selection to join the university corp. I swear, I have to NOT march on the treadmill to this day, and it's been some 22 years. I've actually thought about a good ole practice flag for upper body work - mine was some 15 lbs by the time we were done with it, and our performance ones were like 5. LOL.

    ETA: Oh, yeah - we were known as Maternity High with a 1 in 3 pregnancy/child ratio, an onsite Alternative School, a real vocational school, and still had a fairly high graduation rate. It was an Army high school in the new bible belt buckle of the country....

    You didn't even have a prom queen. Or sports, cheerleaders, or anything normal
