30 Signs You Went To Saint Mark's High School
Richard McFarland Photography

If you went to Saint Mark's High School, you definitely remember both the awesome memories and the many struggles of your one-of-a-kind high school experience. There are so many little things that set Saint Mark's apart from every other school in Delaware and make it very unique.

Here are just some of the signs that you went to Saint Mark's:

1. You thought it was completely normal for girls to wear tights under their gym shorts.


2. A day with spicy chicken for lunch was a good day no matter what.


3. So was a day with big cookies.


4. You understood that a dress down day meant that you could only wear a Saint Mark's t-shirt, specific colored sweats or jeans and that yoga pants were NEVER an option.


5. You never understood why you weren't allowed to sit in your car in the parking lot if you got to school early.


6. You owned a Go Green shirt/Spartan Strong.


7. You didn't think it was weird to pray at the beginning of every class (every 45 minutes).


8. You knew that going to "Welcoming Committee" in the morning wasn't exactly a welcoming experience.


9. You didn't mind having mass every month because you jammed out the Hallejulah song and had shortened classes for the rest of the day.


10. You would take the longer route to get to class just so you could walk through fish hallway.

11. It was the end of the world when the start time of school changed from 8:15 a.m. to 8 a.m., and the end time changed from 2:41 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.


12. You hated when we had to start wearing lanyards, but did it anyway because they were useful for holding your schedule and your friends' senior pictures.


13. You knew it was a good day if you didn't get caught without a sweater during winter dress code.


14. Seeing your birthday sign on the fence every year reassured you that you had good friends.


15. You understood how serious our rivalry was with Sallies.


16. You were terrified of Ms. Brown at first, but then you realized she's the greatest lady on Earth.


17. You remember waking up at 5 a.m. to hang out with your entire class before school the day of pep rally senior year.



18. If you didn't win the spirt stick your senior year, it was the end of the world for months.


19. You were mad if you didn't exceed the Magazine Drive goal and get an extra day off after Thanksgiving Break.


20. You understood the importance of having a skirt that was the perfect length.


21. You went all out for Welcome Dance every year.


22. You almost got into a car wreck in the parking lot or on the driveway multiple times.


23. You refused to carry around more than two books at a time because having a "freshmen backpack" was frowned upon.


24. You had your backpack "nugged" a few times.


25. You thought it was ridiculous that you got detention for having a rip or run in your tights.


26. You had a designated lunch lady cashier that you went to every day.


27. Having your locker zip tied shut was one of the worst feelings ever.


28. More than half of your graduating class went to college at the University of Delaware.


29. You were eager to donate to the SEAS toy room and reach the goal because you could not stand hearing "Dominick the Donkey" blasted at lunch.


30. You swore you would not miss Saint Mark's after graduation, but sometimes you definitely still do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
