Go Bulldogs?? I can probably remember 10 people from my graduating class and couldnt tell you who the guest speaker was if my life depended on it. One think I can remember is going to the Junior Senior Prom with my best friend in a taxi, because neither one of our parents had begun to let us date yet. Now that I'm 40 I realize that it really wasn't that bad and that even back then my mom could afford a taxi for that evening which did include dinner, photos, and the prom and the ride back home...all with the meter running cost a pretty penny (even back then). ....I have to remember to thank her for that and apologize for thinking I must have been the lamest kid around. Not much more exciting than that....I was popular, but in my own way....my mom didnt let me date, but I was still popular with all the guys and not for being loose at all...so thats a good thing. All the cool kids called me County Cool....but thats because I was...it was always with love and affection, never meant to be a mean thing....so I guess that being said...I can say the High School years werent bad at all. Maybe I'll hit up that 25 year reunion after all and see if anyone's face looks familiar, because I'm sure I can't remember those names. Go Bulldogs

After 9th grade, when my public school became so violent and overcrowded that it was no longer…read moresafe, I got sent to Paideia. My 3 years here were the best years of my entire educational career - including college and grad school! This place really is the most amazing school ever. I remember my first day just like it was yesterday. I was accompanied by one of my best friends, who was also making the big switch to a more civilized school. We sat in front of the bathrooms for like 10 minutes trying to figure out which one was for boys and which was for girls. Turned out you just use whichever one is open! In addition to just being an awesome environment, where you are accepted for being whoever you are, Paideia has a great curriculum. The year is divided into short and long terms. In the long terms, you take the standard stuff - physics, math, languages, etc. The short term is for classes that are a little more outside the box - Sociology of American Rock & Roll anyone? The teachers here are absolutely outstanding! You can totally tell that they love the school and truly believe in it's mission. And Paul, the headmaster, is just an all around great guy. Graduation was awesome. My graduating class was 57 people and Paul made a short speech about every single one of us! I am so thankful that I was able to go to Paideia on a scholarship. I regularly give them money so that others can do so as well. I am also backing them in their efforts to take over the whole block! Go Paideia!

His self confidence soared! 4 years later and we are still amazed at the education he is receiving! Warning! The school is far from cheap. Money well spent in my book!
