One of my favorite grad traditions. Highschoolers get to walk through their childhood school while being high-fived by hopeful and excited elementary schoolers.

This year I was invited to my 10th high school reunion and chose not to go. Tonight, I went with my grandfather to his 84th high school reunion. My mom drove us over the winding mountain road, straight through the heart of Shenandoah National Forest to the rural valley town my grandpa grew up in.
His high school is in a beautiful old brick building from the 1880’s. In the middle of the speeches a huge thunderstorm broke out and someone moved the speakers away from the leaking pipe above it. We were served a true country meal by a group of enthusiastic elementary school volunteer waiters: slow roasted beef, pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes with gravy, and sweet tea with peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert. Back in 1939-1941, my grandpa was a cheerleader. For the meal and reception, we were sat in the very gymnasium where he cheered for the girls basketball team.
At 102, my grandpa was the oldest graduate there and led the class song, which he still remembers even after eight and a half decades. I got to hear stories and see the smiles on the everyone’s face when they saw him arrive. If this is what a high school reunion is like, I may reconsider going in a fair few decades.

Honestly no one talks enough about the crazy rose-colored glasses you get after graduating from high school. I miss high school BADLY

I recently graduated junior high at the school I’ve been going to for the past 11 years. Just a nice photo to look back on; a time when I’d never even realised I was standing outside of the place I’d be spending more than half of my life in. I’m gonna miss it so much

We got In trouble and then we got out of it and then we got in bigger trouble… and the whole time we were dressed like clowns! Eventually made it to the out of season Halloween party though!
