One time, long ago and incident happened that will never be forgotten. Something that harmed the whole town. Everyone was was scarred for the rest of their lives. Nobody knew what to do or how to react. The story every parent and grandparent tells their children and grandchildren about. The reason parents are insecure about the schools their kids go to. The reason everything has changed over the years. Everything was good everywhere until breaking news happened. Televisions turned blurry and…

Imagine day you’re sitting in class and all the sudden you hear loud sounds like gunshots, and the principal came over the intercom and said to lock all doors there is a shooter in the building. The teachers and students have no way to fight back due to the law on carrying arms on school premises. How would you feel in that situation versus if your teacher was able to carry? The question should be ask because the percentage of school shootings has risen 3.6% over the years. Teachers should be…

While the parents are constantly in fear and setting up more walls, the son treats every line of defense with disregard because he doesn’t know what they’re for. He uses their front gate intercom as a walkie-talkie, ignores the intruder alarm like everyone else, and in the end, doesn’t understand the purpose of barbed wire (Gordimer). In the end, the parents themselves begin to ignore their defenses and take them for granted. The way they…

“I’m going to stay in the car a few minutes. I have to do something before I go in.” Eric Harris said. His sister, Lena, hesitated before getting out of the car because it seemed odd. “Alright, please don’t be late again. You don’t want another detention.” said Lena.

Usually the school is loud and sometimes obnoxious. “Hey, did you get the…

Once in opening set I felt my nerves starting to kick in, seeing this is my last first competition. “West Salem High School¬ is your band ready?” the announcer says almost delightedly over the intercom, and with that the drum majors raised their hands and the show begun. The show finally came to an end but that was not the end of our preliminary round, no, we still had another thirty¬five minutes in that dreadful heat. This competition was…

The biggest factor that is ongoing right now in high school sports, is that schools of choice, also known as re-innovated schools, do not have the opportunity to participate in sports with high schools who already have sports. Re-innovated schools’ main purpose should be academics, but shouldn’t scrutinize the interest of seeking a part of the athletics. Personally, this was something important to me and wanted to create a change. Although to others above me, this wasn’t a main focus. Through…

perfecting the 11 page packet, and turned it in on the due date. The final decision was made on October 2nd only nine students were selected to receive the scholarship award. I was in social studies class, during 8th period, when I heard my name on the intercom once more. Though this time I felt different, uncomfortable. I slowly walked to the front office and was told to go see the Principal. I found his room and saw a cheerful expression on his face as I entered, he exclaimed "Victor, you just…

“What could it be?” she thought. At its distance and speed, it would reach the ISS in about ten minutes. She hit the giant red button next to her. “Well that was easy!” the button exclaimed as the sirens began. She paged the station over the intercom. “Something is coming. Fast. We have ten minutes to evacuate. Move!” She then gathered her research and began to make her way to the escape pods. Her mind was racing. How long did she have left? “Seven minutes.”…
