High school is high school, no matter where you currently go or graduated from, but high school at Stamford high is… interesting. There always seems to be news circulating the halls whether it be good, bad or just plain stupid. There’s 2,000 students enrolled at Stamford High, and thousands of graduates, yet we’ve all managed to complain about these same nine things.
1. The 9 floors were a killer.
If you had to climb more than 3 flights of stairs to get to class between passing, odds are you walked into class out of breathe and slightly sweaty.
2. Having to perfectly execute a plan of escape if you want to leave for long period.
Getting chased walking to/back from the lot when all you're trying to do is get some lunch is not cool. Not to mention having to call a friend to open the door for you if that one back door happened to be locked.
3. No AC.
80-degree heat with 2,000 people? There’s only one word to describe Stamford high at the beginning and end of the year, musty.
4. The dreaded “ramp.”
The ramp connecting the 6th floor to the new building easily had hundreds of students crammed in at any pastime. No one wants to be that close to on another.
5. Not knowing there’s an art floor.
Unless you were an art student or have fulfilled your art requirements early, odds are you were shocked to find there's a whole floor for art students.
6. Only having 5 minutes in between classes.
Sure, five minutes may be enough to get to and from class when you’re in the average 3-story-high school. But at Stamford high that is near impossible once you factor in the nine floors and crowded halls.
7. Donna V.
Enough said.
8. Not being able to use your assigned locker.
Either you never were able to find your locker your first day of freshman year, you couldn't open it because the lock is hundreds of years old, or they're in the most inconvenient location possible.
9. Having that one security guard yelling at you to get off your phone or get to class.
It just doesn't make sense. Yelling at me didn't make me put my phone away for more than a second and I never magically got to class quicker when I was still four floors away.
