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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
