Another Religious Forum Trivia Question-Where Did You Graduate From High School?
Just for a noncontroversial bit of chatter and to see where everybody came from, where did you graduate from High School? I graduated from Butte High School in Butte, Montana.

I graduated from Apopka High School. Apopka, FL
Apopka means "the big potato".
It used to be quite the "hick" town when I was a kid. It was grown a lot since then.
A funny story...when I entered Jr. High our city was split and I had to go to a school in nearby local city. When teacher would find out that I was from Apopka they just couldn't believe it. I remember asking one, "What did you expect? Me to be in overalls and have straw hanging from my mouth? Yep, that's what they expected!!!! (Personally, I love overalls.)

I was within three months of graduating from Wilmington High School in Wilmington Ohio..Due to financial and family problems, I took the GED test (aced it btw  ) and joined the Army..Since then I have managed to get an associate in accounting and other college credits from attending seminars..For years I had dreams of graduating with my class and I was resentful that circumstances beyond my control robbed me of that ceremony...Over the years I have come to realize that the lessons I have learned from life experiences is more valuable than any Phd.. |

I dropped out of high school in 11th grade... It was one of the best decisions of my life.  |

I graduated from Calvary Baptist High School in Menomonee Falls, WI. We had a grand total of ten students in my graduating class . I can't talk about my graduating class without also mentioning that my best friend in high school, Cathy Olson, was killed in a car accident just two days after we graduated  . It will be 30 years next June since that happened and I can remember it like it was yesterday.... |

a small public high school in Florida...
However, I had already learned just about everything taught at that school before attending it. Except the naval history of the U.S.

Sacred Hearth Catholic High School in PA.
I must say that the education I received was excellent.
That was waaaaayyyy back when schools taught critical thinking skills.
I wish schools taught that today, instead of teaching to tests.
