I just love hearing people brag about our high school :-D!! It always puts a huge smile on my face. Did you know that technically I was turned down for my first choice of high school? But I'm not counted as a statistic since it was never put down in the paperwork. However, I chose Rider before I knew they had the whole program of letting you choose your school, but they told me I couldn't attend Rider because I was caucasion. I didn't really understand this at the time. All I knew was that I live four blocks from this high school and they weren't allowing me to attend it. But, I believe that was the best thing that could have happened to me. Could you imagine me as a Raider?! Anyway, I feel very lucky to have attended Hirschi...especially now that I have seen what the "sick" public schools are like. If any state needs reform, it's California. Its schools rank down at the bottom of the list along with Mississippi's. So sad...Students out here are considered lucky if they get accepted to the private schools.
