I am one of the many alumni who will tell you that Mepham was the best high school in the world. I was a cheerleader, lacrosse player, runner, and in too many clubs to name. Mepham gave me the education I needed, the friends I love, and the best experience that anyone could hope to get out of high school. Even though I love college and would definitely not want to be anywhere else right now, it doesn't change the fact that Mepham was definitely an amazing place that helped me grow so much as a person. So whether you're still in Mepham or you graduated a while ago, here are some things that we all have in common:
1. You know to make friends with the security guards so they can let you go out to lunch as a freshman or do whatever you want in the hallways.
2. No underclassman better even consider sitting on the senior ledge, or else.

3. There is nothing worse than gym class in Mepham. No matter what, every year you're screwed.
4. As a senior, your only worries are graduating and getting to college, finding a way to get to Senior Sleepout without your parents knowing, and prom.
5. The NYS Regents Exams will always be a waste of time, but you got a newfound appreciation for them once Common Core Tests became a thing.
6. Nothing is more fun than going to the football games, even though you're most likely going just to watch the Bleacher Creatures annoy the refs and opposing players from the stands.
7. Once senior year rolls around, nobody really cares anymore and the grade just becomes really close for the most part, which was probably my favorite part of high school.
8. There's always one hallway where you're forced to pass your least favorite couple sucking face on someone else's locker every day.
9. You always get annoyed when people from other schools ask about the millions of scandals we've had here.

10. As a senior, you're practically doomed if you get to school late because then you're forced to park on Stewart and GOD KNOWS the cops are going to find some type of problem and you'll end up with a $100 ticket.
All jokes aside, Mepham really was an awesome place and I wouldn't want to have gone to high school anywhere else. I hope everyone gets the same happiness that I got out of my high school experience and the amazing community we live in. Sorry I'm probably the only person that actually still likes Bellmore... Go pirates!
