  • Reflections on My High School Closing Down

    My high school that I graduated from is closing at the end of this year. It was a small private school that finally ran out of money and students. I went back to watch the school play and took the opportunity to take video of the grounds and talk:

  • hmmm.... Memory Lane.

  • i'm sorry that you are having to say goodbye to your school=/ 

    but can you please excuse me while i please laugh at the playground for a second? i'm no playground elitist..we only had tire swings for a few years and a junglegym over asphalt. so i am not one to look down on anyone else's play ground equipment.  though i must say, that unless you had explained that it was a private school, it would seem kind of funny for high school to have that kind of playground equipment...monkey bars/swingset/elementary school style jungle gym. hahhahahha 

    hhahahahhahahhaha.  i'm sorry....i can't stop laughing. i'm visualizing 16 year old kids swinging on the way too little swing sets for some reason.

    HOWEVER, now that i know it is a private school, i'm assuming it was K - 12 probably, and that there's a whole field or gymnasium that is missing from this documentary.

    so i'm sorry. i didn't mean to dampen your tribute. just that what you chose to highlight made me laugh. but then again, kids in general and swingsets alone illicit laughter out of me sometimes. so please don't mind me.

    =)

  • Aww.  I'm not one of those people who says high school was the best years of my life (because those were definitely college), but still, I have a million memories from my high school, and it totally kicked butt.  I'd be very sad if it were closing.  I'm even a little sad that my junior high relocated and reformed, despite the fact that its new image helped gloss over the fact that its former assistant principal became a registered sex offender that year...

  • So many things are affected by this economy sorry about the school closing down

  • funny, my elementary school is closing down too

  • i deffinatly enjoyed college better then hs but if my school were to close down (elementary, middle, or hs) i think id be a lil sad too...

  • Whoa melancholia... Seeing those swing sets makes me really miss elementary school. I wish my current high school had a jungle gym like that. Maybe it would not be so terrible if it did.

    Thank you for sharing this with everybody, even if it is a gloomy subject.

    Lol and I have to say, your tags made me chuckle quite a bit.

  • congratulations on graduating! :)

  • @YouTOme - HAHAHAHHA.

  • @iso_whiteSnow - i'm glad i made somebody laugh. lol

  • @YouTOme - LOL. I CANT HELP IT BUT AGREED WITH YOU. It's just too odd for a high school .. swings, bars, and etc. all i have at my high school are basketball courts, tennis court, football field, baseball field, gym w/ indoor courts, and track field. we dont even have elementary stuff.

  • @YouTOme - LOL yes, very small K-12 school. Stop laughing at me! :-p I went there in grade 11.

  • I envy you ='(

  • We all know you'd sneak over to the playground and swing until someone caught you.  This would have been better if you broke down and started crying at some point.

  • Join me GreekPysique.

  • It must be tough having your school closed down. I would be upset if mine was.

  • The school where I went to college also closed down. I was saddened but with today's economic crunch, this was to be expected. 

  • "aaaand there is the shed".... sorry, Greek
