P.R.I.D.E

Last I went to the high school, Braintree High School for an "Open House". All the eighth graders were encouraged to go so that they could see what the school was like and influence them to pick it. They had sign ups for teams and clubs, but I didn't pick anything just yet. Not everybody went, but it was a pretty big turnout. It started with the principal and other important people talking. They talked about P.R.I.D.E. it's an acronym for some stuff that I don't really remember. Then they tallked about AP classes. I can't wait for the AP classes, that sounds kind of nerdy, but the kids who talked about it made it sound so much like CTY with discussions and whatnot. Braintree also has a really strong AP program because the school actually pays for the tests.

After they were done we went to tour the school. I didn't really see anything that exciting except for the Digital Arts room. It's an elective where you learn photoshop and other editing programs to make photo art, there's even a dark room. I really want to take that class. Then I went to the media center and saw some of my friends. You could play golf in the media center. There were two nets on both ends of the room where you would hit the ball into. One of my friends lined up two balls one in front of the other and hit one. The other ball almost broke a window, we got out of there after that.

Compared to my school BHS is huge. There are 3 floors with like 3 huge hallways in each floor. My current school has 2 floors with 2 small hallways per floor. BHS also has like 5000 lockers, it's the only high school in Braintree so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. Open house night made high school seem easy, but from what just about everyone says it's going to be wicked hard. But I can't get too ahead of myself, I still have to finish 8th grade.
