You Know You Went To San Pasqual High School If...

A few things every San Pasqual High School graduate knows to be true...

You Know You Went To San Pasqual High School If...

Every high school graduate will always hold a special place in their heart for their high school -- the graduates of San Pasqual High School in Escondido, Calif. especially. While we may have been known as the snobby rich kids of Escondido, we sure did know how to have a good time and make the best of our high school years. At SP, we certainly had some interesting memories. Here are some things that every SP graduate knows to be true.

You knew the security guards by name.

Chances are, they probably knew yours too. If you were lucky enough, they would give you a ride around campus to your next class. So befriending Johnny and Santos was not a bad idea.

You had to kick your locker to actually get it to open.

You most likely got stuck with the same locker for all four years. Lucky for you, your locker either had to be pulled on multiple times to open, or it just never locked at all. At least by senior year you knew exactly how many times it took to yank it open.

All your Spirit Day pictures were taken in front of those pesky, blue lockers.

We all knew that’s where the best lighting was, so the best candid shots were always taken there.


Half the kids in your grade are probably Instagram or Tumblr famous.

You refuse to follow them on social media because you know you’ll see all their posts on your Instagram or Twitter timeline, Pinterest, or Tumblr. You can’t help but be jealous of their perfect lives though. Let’s be real, you're probably still Instagram-stalking them even after you've graduated.

You participated in AP Boot Camp and know who Mr. Clifford is.

He probably scared the sh*t out of you on the first day in his full-camo get-up, but you learned to love his sarcastic comments and clever teaching style.


You joined in on yelling profanities in Spanish from the rowdy crowd at football games.

Freshman year you didn't know what they meant so you just joined in because that’s what everyone else was doing. By the time you were a senior though, you were the one starting those chants. (After making sure Mr. Clifford was not there of course.)

The last week of Junior year was spent fighting to secure your table for the upcoming year on the Senior lawn.

The seniors all got out a week early, so that meant one week to claim your spot and get a sneak peek at what your next year was going to be like.

You dreaded pep rallies because it felt like you were going to die of heatstroke every time there were more than five people shoved into the gym.

We all wanted to get rowdy…but when you're packed like sardines in a room with no air conditioning, it was a tad difficult to yell chants to the freshmen with paint dripping down your face.

At pep rallies, everyone got more excited for the dance team than the cheer team.

Yes, our cheerleaders pumped us up, but our dance team that won multiple National Championships really knew how to get the crowd going. Especially when they added in a student vs. teachers dance-off.

You spent the last day of the school year at Moonlight Beach.

Just when you thought you didn't have to see anyone from your classes for a whole three months, you ran into just about every person you had spent the school year avoiding at the beach.


And of course, you had better school spirit than Escondido High and Orange Glen.

If there’s one thing we loved, it was being spirited and showing our support for our Fighting Eagles.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
