[Katie]

for the most part there was never a large problem with the jocks and the goths. In fact if you will, lets associate ‘goths’ with drama. Our drama program is better then any sport in our school. It is known state wide, nationally and INTERNATIONALLY (we have gone to the fringe festival twice in 5 years- first h.s. to be invited for a repeat performance.) In fact our arts in general are spectacular (our choir performed at carnegie hall last february with acclaimed composer/director Moses Hogan) where as our sports MIGHT make it to state semi-finals or finals once in a while. Everyone has great respect for everyone, because we recognize that others do what we cannot. And even though i am not an active part of our drama company, i call it mine, because it is my school. Just as they call my swim team theirs. Having a racially diverse under 1000 student school helps this factor also. All it is ignorance playing its role. as for safety, my school is trying to be a poster-child for safety… we have had ‘intruder’ lock downs (everyone locks their door and hides in a corner with the lights off.) and evacuation plans (walk 1 mile in the snow to get away fromthe building) sadly there is a need, luckily everyone takes it seriously, yet still light-hearted in the hopes/confidence that it will not happen to our school.
