What’s your alma mater? (High School)

[mr.checkerboards]

I remember the old men talking about Sullivan West, back in the day. I guess I know how they felt now lol.

Yeah, my dad went to West. Thats where I went to MS it used to blow my mind he went to high school there, and no here we are.

They still have the Sullivan South sign up at the front gate. My daughter was in the last graduating class there.

I drive by it most days. The old sign still throws me off. My daughter will be there for middle school year after next. Seeing Colonial Height Middle vacant is almost as weird. Though it looks like that won't last.

What are they doing with the building? It's been in pretty bad shape for a long time.

Both the folks that own Tri Cities Christian and The City of Kingsport are trying to buy it for a new school.

I attended two high schools. The one in which I completed coursework didn’t treat me all that well. It’s gone. Torn down a few years after I left. My alma mater is UT, which awarded me a BSBA. Forever Big Orange.

ORHS, 1970

While you were graduating from ORHS, I was transferring into a different school, one that would refuse to credit me for much of the coursework completed in my prior school and keep me enrolled until '73.

The pit looks the same as it did 30+ years ago though

High school or college?
I've heard of problems at the college level. Also transfering 3 qtr hours to a University that was on semesters. Ouch!
Worked ok for electives or a full school year.

Death Valley ftw.

I must admit to thinking The Stone Castle was cooler though.

As a Science Hill grad pretty much everyone had a better stadium than us. It was a dump. The new one is nice though

It was better to watch a game in for sure. The Stone Castle looks awesome from the outside though.

Agree.

The worst for me is Gate City. The field was ok, but The parking there is horrible
