How do you think your school has changed since you left?

I was ripped off.

When I was six I was chosen to plant a pussy willow tree in the playground. My teacher said that when I grew up I'd be able to come back and see the tree I'd planted.

I never forgot that and decades later I went back to see it. And it wasn't there. They'd knocked it down to build a new classroom. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Rather comically, the Blurtit software found some "bad language" in that answer and refused to let me post it. See if you can find the naughty word. >:-)

Mine is gone too. Freeway needed more room, so the school went.

My high school is just a pile of rubble now. They built a new one.

The high school my husband and I met at is only a half mile from my house. We see it all the time. My kids went there too.

I know that the year we graduated was the last year that we had "open" campus for lunch. Which means you could leave campus at lunch. Yeah, well sometimes we didn't go back after lunch. They also got rid of "senior parking". They had a parking lot the staff and the seniors could use. It was closer to classes, and very convenient. Some of the buildings are now named after teachers I had who have since passed. We also had artificial turf put in our football field.

probably not.. I haven't been there since 2008. I even skipped the grad ceromoney.

I went and did a Google Earth for all of my schools that I attended, they're all gone, every last one.

3 of my graduating class are now teaching there ... And 1 is the Principle

Mine has about doubled in size. They finally put a wood floor in the dance building, (When I went it was concrete and it really hurt when you fell! I was actually knocked unconscious when someone tripped me and I fell and hit my head.) 

There are now two gyms. One for gym class and one for competition, complete with state of the art lighting and sound. (Great intimidating the competition.) Our football field was recently completely redone. It was purchased from a college that ended their football program in the 1950s. They restarted the program about two years ago. When they made a deal with the school board and they renovated the football field.

The academic programs have advanced as well. When I graduated we had AP and Honors classes, but now there are two other more advanced programs. The International Baccalaureate and another one I don't know the name of. With the IB program you go into college with you enter as a sophmore instead of a freshman, The second program you graduate high school with an Associate's Degree.

I graduated in 1976 and have never been back, so I don't know what has changed or what has stayed the same.

I had to look mine up as I haven't been in that part of town in years and it's still going! Encina High School in Sacramento, California. Founded in 1958.

It burned down.
