When I attended WCHS, there was a tradition, a homecoming tradition. It involved a bonfire, a stuffed football uniform made to look like an opposing team member and cheering. I do not know if burning people in effigy is common at every high school but it was par for the course in Watseka, Illinois. OK, so this was my high school. Class of '94 and all that. I was not that into the whole schooling thing back in the day so I upped the rating one star to make up for bias. WCHS has a good range of extracurriculars which was important to a student who tried to avoid actual classes. I was a band and drama geek...ouch. The gym is quite nice, reflecting the mid-western worship of basketball. In my day there were a few teachers who cared enough that they made an actual difference in my life. Hopefully that is still the case. In the end, it's a high school. Go, Warriors! read more
