Do you visit your old High School?

[Gregg]

Some of the answers to the visit college thread made me think of this.

I do not visit my old High School . I did a few times during my college years.

I did pay a visit in my early 40"s to have a "chat" with a young man. He gave my Mother a veiled threat when she worked there.

I do visit my hometown about once or twice a year but High School has nothing to do with it. I thought HS was a great experience with some really good memories. Just nothing to go back to. I do not get the same warm fuzzies as visiting my college.

Nope. Have a couple handfuls of friends from high school that I'm still tight with, but I haven't even bothered with any reunions.

Fuck no.

[TranaGreg]

Fuck no.

As I mentioned in the other thread, yes, a lot more often than I visit my college. That's because I moved back to the town where I grew up, worked for the school district where I went to high school, and send my kids to that district. When I worked for the school district (as COO, overseeing budget/finance, payroll/payables, facilities, food, transportation, technology, security, compliance), I was in the high school at least once a week for one reason or another. Since I stopped working for the school district, I basically go to see the annual musical and to one or two football games every year.

I've gone to my high school a couple times recently, mostly for either "College and Career Days" where I told graduating seniors to dump their high school girlfriends before going to college or to see my nephew play baseball.

I bet most of them chose to watch your nephew play ball rather than dump their girlfriends.

Wait, the school allowed you to come in and talk to a student about a personal matter?

[ironfist]

Went back a couple of times when my daughters had their dance recital there. Other than that, no reason to go.

Fuck no.

The school liked me. I went there to surprise my Mom. They helped me find her. They were very happy that I would drive all the way up from Chicago for a visit. I talked with so many people I doubt they even gave it a second thought...oh and parking outside my mom's house and the veiled threats stopped immediately. Imagine that.

I went back to Arkansas this weekend for a funeral, the father of my best friend from High School. The trip took my by the old school, which has long been closed and is falling into ruins. A little sad.

I haven't been inside my old HS since I graduated in '87. I'm sure most of my teachers are either retired or dead. So what would be the point?

[Piney Boy]

Yes as my 2 youngest are now attending the same school. My son had 2 of my teachers, but I was only able to meet one of them. It was very weird as she remembered me even though that was back in 1985-86. My son had her in his senior year in 2016. My son also had a culinary class that was taught by one of my good friends in high school. They spent many days talking about me. My youngest has only 1 teacher so far that I had and it's the the other one my son had. Gotta try and make sure I get a conference with her this time.

The building I attended grade school in burned down in 1976 (I was a sophmore). They tore down the building I went to HS in to build a parking lot. I go back once in a while for a football game.

We just recently had our 40 year reunion (different location) and invited some of our favorite teachers. Several made it and are still in good health.
