13 Things You Know Are True If You Went To A Small High School In South Carolina

How many of us went to a small high school? How many of us really want to remember high school? I have to say that I went to a small high school and I actually loved school. It was just a happy time for me in a lot of ways...you can call me weird if you like. That's okay.

If you did go to a small high school then you know that there are certain things that you will only understand coming from that experience. It's a totally different world that's for sure. Here are 13 things that you know are absolutely true if you went to a small high school in South Carolina. Let's delve into the past shall we?

1. Small Graduating Class

Your graduating class was less than 300 students, but you needed the entire auditorium because the whole town came.

2. Familiarity

The other thing? You knew all the names of every single one of those students you were graduating with...for better or worse.

3. No Secrets

Your life was pretty much an open book and everyone knew everything about you...or they at least thought they did.

4. Bullies

Bullying wasn't really a thing you had to worry about. Of course there were fights, but no bullying because you likely grew up with everyone you went to school with.

5. High School Sweethearts

High school sweethearts was a normal and real thing. They also likely got married as soon as their graduation caps hit the ground.

6. Teachers

You knew every teacher and likely had them more than once during those four high school years.

7. Legacies

And to that end, a lot of them probably taught your older siblings as well as went to school with one or both of your parents.

8. Phone Calls

Which also meant that you couldn't get away with anything because your parents would know before you ever got home.

9. New Kids

Going to a small high school also meant that it looked kind of like a day of festivities when a new kid graced the doorstep. Well, at least for a few months anyway.

10. Football

Being a small high school also meant that it was difficult to have a football team, a cheerleading squad, and people left over to be in the stands...

11. Oddity

It also meant that if you were a little odd then you stuck out like a, well, giant umbrella-like balloon thing...

12. Feuds

If you and a friend got into a fight, well, you both might have gotten the whole school involved.

13. Staying in Touch

And, lastly, class reunions are pretty much pointless because you probably still talk to 95% of the people you went to school with on a regular basis!
