In this multi-part episode, I am joined by 4 friends as we discuss our memories of high school.

In part 2, we will talk a bit about how COVID impacted school, as well as how it affected the behavior and discipline of kids.

A little bit about our guests:

Nova is a recent high school graduate, coming from a school in California with approximately 2000 students. Her main focus during school was the art program and she had first-hand experience as a freshman going through high school during COVID.

Cheek graduated a couple years ago from a school of about 2500 in South-East Pennsylvania. He played varsity lacrosse as well as piano in the school string ensemble. He also experienced COVID as a sophomore in high school and the negative impact that it had on his high school friendships.

Velvet graduated with about 200 kids in his class from a school in NE pennsylvania in the late 90's. Although encouraged by his parents to play football, he focused heavily on music and played drums in the band.

Emerald graduated with also about 200 kids in his class from a school in Southern colorado in the early 90's. He participated in cross-country, basketball and track as well as played baritone in band.

I graduated with about 65 people from a small school in Northwest Ohio in the late 90's. I mainly played soccer and bowled in club organizations outside of the school. I also participated (thanks to that requirement by my mom - a music teacher from a neighboring school) in band, choir, and show choir.
