-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The buildings with the gym at my school has one big gym, a wrestling room, weight rooms, two lockerrooms, and a giant hallway through all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 There are three gyms at my high school, a wrestling room, a weight room (even though I don't know where that is) and two locker rooms- one for the guys and one for the girls. The locker room at my high school is so much better than the one at my middle school. The locker room at the middle school was dirty, old and dark (and I could swear it was probably haunted at one point or another), whereas the one at the high school is clean, light and new :) Sadly, the lockers in the high school locker room are a pain in the butt to open. For that matter, all the lockers (gym and regular) are a pain in the butt to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I hated the locker rooms in my HS. There was only 2 rows of lockers. At my middle school, it was broken down in a ton of rows, so there were less being around. And in middle school, there was the shower room to duck into to change. In HS, the showers and such were in with the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The newer schools here a bigger. Most of the schools in my district were really old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 There isn't a swim team (or even a pool) at my school. In fact, I could care less if my school did get a pool. I'd be more excited if my school got an ice rink (and they got a hockey team and/or ice skating troupe). I think I can ice skate better than I can swim. :P But where would they get the money for that? There are already way too many budget cuts going on so an ice rink isn't gonna happen any time in the near future. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meepit Commando Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 the HS I am supposed to go too has a swimming pool, but an Ice rink, good luck with that :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to swim though :woot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Swim is required. You have to take at least one quarter of swim, or you can't graduate. (You can also test out of it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meepit Commando Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Is that in your district, or nationwide, statewide, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 We just have general physical education and you need 2 credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The required swim? I know it's a requirement of my school, I don't know if it's district-wide or not. Swim is part of our gym class. They change what they teach each semester. And you pick one, and have it for a quarter. Like Basketball or swim. Then whatever you did the first quarter, you do the other during the second quarter. Swim is one of the choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 We only need 1 credit for physical education here. It should probably be four considering how many McDonalds there are in the US but whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 If I remember right, it was 4 credits (or 2 full years worth) of PE. Like, 1 foreign language credit. 10-11 elective. 8 English, 4 Math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 At my school, one needs two gym credits to graduate. They're worth a quarter of a credit per semester, there are two semesters in a year, it's a half a credit per year, so you have to take gym (or sports if you're in grades 10 + 11) for your entire high school career. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I would love a schedule like that, Spritzie. D: Here, each semester is half a credit, and the credit quotas are - 1 - PE .5 - Computers 4 - English 4 - Math 2 - Foreign Language 3 - Science 3 - History And either 4 or 8 for special arts or something... I'm in a 4 year class which thankfully counts towards some of those arts credits though. Otherwise i'd have to have a-hours or drop AVID...

Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 You could mix the credits around however. I made sure I took an English class every semester, all the way through, but I got the math credits over with as quickly as I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 *digs out book with course information* So, at my school, you need 4 credits for English and Social Studies, 3 for Math and Science, 1 for languages and the arts, 2 for phys ed, 3.5 for electives and 0.5 for health. If it's possible, I'll do science for three years. It's my least favourite subject and I have no plans on doing anything science-related after I graduate :P I will take math and French up until my senior year, even though it's not required that you take either of those courses for the rest of your high school career. (For math, you have to if you're in two-year algebra or something like that. I'm only taking French up until senior year because I'm pretty good at it.)

-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I can't wait for dual enrollemnt classes. I'm a freshman now so I don't have those available to me yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meepit Commando Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I need 2 language credits in my HS, the rest I dont know ( Im in JH) What are dual-enrollment classes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 When you take a class and the credit counts towards highschool and college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I think there are some dual-enrollment electives at my school that you can take when you're either a junior or a senior. They're all either social studies or science-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 My school has two semesters each year, and in each class you get 1 credit (unless the class is only half of a semester). So when I said that we needed 2 P.E. credits, I meant either one whole year or two half years :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 For mine theres dual-emrollment for english and history. Im pretty sure for science and math too, but i'm focusing on getting the ones for history and english. I'm in honors english now, and i'll be doing that and hopefully AP history next year.

Noog Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 We have dual enrollment for English and Math. You need enough people to take it though. This year I don't think we have enough people that want to do dual enrollment english. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
