oh my school
So Shawnee Mission East, my high school, is known for three things:
1. Being rich.
2. Being smart.
3. Drinking.
There are five high schools in the Shawnee Mission School District: North, South, East, West, and the oddball Northwest.
I don't know how familiar you blog readers are with the National Merit Society, based of PSAT/NMSQT, but basically, here's the rundown of semi-finalists for the NMS from my school district:
SM West: Four semi-finalists
SM South: two
SM Northwest: three
SM North: two
SM East: seventeen.
Sad part? I'm on first-name basis with half of them. And most of them get drunk every other night. And all of them are very, very well off. (The other ones are Asians... but even some of them like to get a little funky on Fridays.)
Way to live up to sterotypes, SME. ;)

i happen to be "getting funky" this friday. But i dont do that EVERY friday.
if theres one thing that fuels substance abuse, its having copious amounts of money to spend on substances. I have a friend who lives in wisconsin (not cory) that lives in a rich neighborhood and he said that all his friends have at least tried cocaine.
WHOA, it's been a long time since I actually came over to comment (I have you in my Reader) so I haven't seen this fancy theme until today :)
Anyway, I'm curious - about how many people are in each graduating class at these schools? The numbers sound small to me, but then again my high school was pretty big (about 700 people per class).
Candy -- my high school's pretty big, around 500-700 per class, but only 1% of the entire state gets to be in the NMS thing, so my school district makes up 17% of all the candidates in the state of Kansas.
