Soooo, let's chat about Noblesville High School. My photographer and I arrived late (sorry Mrs. Petty!) and we almost missed the Quiz Bowl practice...keep in mind it was 7a.m.! These kids were up and at 'em, quizzing each other for their upcoming competition. I sat down - buzzer in hand - to try and show off my intellectual skills. Um, yeah. What happens at Quiz Bowl practice stays at Quiz Bowl practice. Unless any of the kids post a comment, I'm not sayin' a word!
Moving on to the new Freshman Campus. I didn't realize schools in the area were housing their 9th grade classes in a completely different building?! Obviously a new trend I knew nothing about! I spoke with a few freshmen who expressed their extreme delight in not having interaction with the "mean upperclassman bullies." (just kidding...they didn't really say that.) FRESHMEN RULE!
Lastly, I attended a guitar class. They have 3 levels of guitar classes at Noblesville High School, which is a sweet option for kids who don't want to be in the traditional band, choir and orchestra. The teacher made the mistake of handing me a guitar...couldn't he see that I was doing completely fine playing my very own leg / air guitar? I strummed a few horrid chords and called it a day. I'd rather enjoy the fine tunes coming from the students. My favorite: Carol of the Bells.
Rock on Noblesville High School!
