Before Huntley High School was transformed into something that looks like a small community college, it was nothing more than your basic high school with two circles and a cluster of random hallways. Whether HHS gave you some of your best memories or you couldn't wait to leave, there's no doubt that there are some inevitable high school experiences that you'll never forget.
1. You can somewhat recall being a Redskin before being forced to change your mascot to a Red Raider.
Recommended for you
2. You're not positive how a horse mascot even represents a Red Raider.
3. Actually, you're not really sure what a Red Raider even is.
4. You never went to a sporting event without hearing, "Hey, hey Huntley!" being shouted by Mr. Overstreet.
5. You hated Harry D. Jacobs High School.
6. You still hate Harry D. Jacobs High School.
7. Everyone referred to your security guards as "Bone Crusher" and "Jesus."
8. Mrs. O'Donnell threatened to kick you through the "goalpost of life" many times.
9. Walking down the freshman hallway is now a repressed memory because you're too afraid to step foot down that crowded hellhole ever again.
10. You started to swear by using mathematical terms like, "holy shift, look at that asymptote on that mother function."
11. You were woken up at least once during Mrs. Sikora's math class by her singing "Wake Up Little Susie," and she never failed to let you know that you didn't need luck, because you had skill!
12. You're no longer offended when someone refers to you as a "Huntley Hick." In fact, you even embrace it during your college years.
13. You dreaded "Friday Fun Day, Everybody Run Day."
14. Townball was the biggest anxiety inducer of your high school career.
15. Spicy chicken patties and mashed potatoes were a delicacy.
16. Despite how many years it's been since you've graduated, you'll never forget how to be the Raider Way: Be respectful, be responsible and be involved.
Thank you, and have a Marvelous Monday.
