"Childcare Facilities"
I believe only one highschool in the district had a childcare center, and this was the alternative school. I never noticed any pregnant students at my own high school.
Girls who were pregnant could stay at my school until they had the baby, then they went to the alternative school, where there was a childcare center. Our school had a preschool, but that was for the students taking child development courses, not for students to place their own children.
I'm surprised that more high schools did not have swimming pools... I actually thought that all/most did!
Also, I checked off that we had a computer lab, but as far as I can remember, it was just a corner of the library with several computers. I don't remember there being a dedicated room, though there was in my middle school. (Disclaimer: I graduated 17 years ago, so I may have forgotten.)
I checked of the facilities my high school has NOW. I graduated 40 years ago so obviously there wasn't a computer lab at that time. There wasn't a computer lab in any high school in the U.S. at that time.
Sure would have liked to see a bar/pub. Sometimes the boys bathroom served the purpose.
Agree with jmgg - I graduated High School in the late '70's. I have no idea what's in it now. The pub/bar and hot tub is throwing me, is this an imaginary High School check list?
My high school has: a Childcare center for the community, a hospital room ( hospital beds, IV poles for the nursing students), a forensics lab, 2 tv production labs (mac lab), an auto body shop, a cosmetology studio (salon), a kitchen (for culinary student use only), a welding/cabinet making garage, a pool, football field, track, lacrosse, soccer and softball fields, parking lots, 3 theatres/ auditoriums, 3 computer rooms plus a room at the back of the library with 23 computers, weight room/ fitness center and the regular gym.
Mind you, we are one of NY's poorest districts 0.0
I voted for the high school I went to for the longest amount of time. However, I will add that it had much more and nicer facilities than the other high schools in the district. Why? It's the school with the name of the city/district as the name of the school. The district likes to keep that school up more feeling that it impacts the name of the district more than other high schools. Also, it was the original school of the district. As such, a lot of the facilities were built before any of the other schools were even built.
Most schools in the district have football fields, but only two (I think) have football stadiums. I believe it's also the only high school in the district to have a dedicated auditorium. The only sports' facilities the school did not have were softball fields, so we had to go off campus for practices and games. All of the high schools have student parking lots, but they are pretty empty as most students can no longer afford cars. See, the district was much more middle class when the schools were built than it is now.
Heh, went I went to high school, computer hadn't yet made it to American Webster! But we had a typing lab.
