My high school had this thing called the ‘Comet Olympics.’  People from each of the four classes would participate in different sporting events.  Each day of the week of the Olympics, it was a special spirit day, like pajama day or 80s day.  It was so fun.

My favorite high school memory is getting ready before my senior prom. All the girls met up and we had so much fun just hanging out, getting glammed up for the last high school dance before graduation. 

My favorite high school experiences involved me not being in school. I remember ditching as a senior, driving around town with friends and eating Frosted Flakes out of the box. Amazing. 

I miss high school. Best experiences were friends (of course), orchestra, first kiss and first love. <3 God i wish I could go back.

I miss band from my freshman and first half of my sophomore year of high school. As much as I might have complained about it then it challenged me and made me a better musician. Had the same teacher been there the rest of my high school years I would be a tremendously better player than I was when I graduated and probably would have stuck with playing even after high school. 

My favorite high school memory was hello kitty-fying my yearbook advisor’s classroom after she had left. We got a supervisor to let us into the room and put a bunch of HK items and decorations up. She HATES hello kitty, she thinks that HK takes over the world like an evil villain. Anyways, even a year after, she was still finding HK stuff around her room. She thought it was pretty funny.

one of my favourite high school memories – I have no idea, there are so many!! Maybe just escaping with some of my friends to the tennis courts on the roof and chatting…and looking out at everything from WAY up there..somehow it just made things seem manageable at times =) 

I loved senior year when I finished school after lunch during MWF. My good friend and I would jump into my lemon car and go to Safeway to get soup on cold days. Then we’d talk and eat in my car with our chairs reclined. Oh the good old teenage years…

My favorite high school memory was every morning fall semester sophomore year when my best friend and I would spend first period doing nothing but gossiping and eating candy. The class, “nutrition and wellness”, was a joke, so it was chill time/do-homework-for-other-classes time.

I have so many favorite high school memories…I loved going into the gym every morning seeing all my friends happy to see me and hugging like we’d been apart for forever when it had only been a day  

Oh man… my favourite high school memories are the awkwardest ones. Although I do remember when a few kids from my school put on this Lady Gaga show where they danced to and lip-synced her songs on stage… they kept telling everyone to stand up and sing along but no one would, so me, being probably the awkwardest kid in the school, stood up and started dancing by myself.

I was the only one… and it was awesome. I felt good about that.

My favorite memory from high school were on days when we had late starts, my sisters, friends, and I would wake up early still and walk to Perkins and eat chocolate chip pancakes and goof around then head off to school afterwards. Best way to start the day…with chcolate chip pancakes! Oh, and also the water balloon fights we would have walking home after school.

I’d have to say that my favorite high school memory would be my freshman year bio class – it was wicked hard (and gross – we had to dissect a fetal pig!), but it was just such a great group of people in that class and I made a lot of amazing friends!  

When I was a freshman and this sophomore was commenting how my friends and I were so short (I’m still short, though) and I was like, “We’re fun-sized!” 

The only time I’ve ever been TP-ing, my friends and I almost got caught, and I got separated from the group. I had to run through peoples back yards and jump a fence, and when we finally met back up in my back yard we had the hugest laughing fit when we saw our victims driving around trying to find us.

My favorite high school memory was cruising late at night with my best friends (before we all went different directions in our lives) with the windows down and our music up.  We didn’t know who would move away, how our friendships would diminish, and we were happy…

My favorite memory was probably the fact that during lunch we would have dances with a dj on fridays. People from other schools ask me about that because they are in shock. I think it was so cool and totally lotsa fun. 

So far, my favorite high school memory had to be mising an hour of my classes to run between two buildings to find my cell phone.. which had been in my backpack the entire time.

One of my favorite high school memories…probably the Student Council Lock-In that my friends and I did every year (we joined JUST to go haha and skipped most of the meetings). We got locked into the school all night til between 6 and 7 am and basically ignored most of the “special activities” going on (except the hypnotist that came a couple of times) and just ran around acting like idiots. Senior year my friend brought a personal dvd player (which was so amazing to me at the time) and introduced me to TVXQ (a korean band that I loved!!). The Lock-In is probably the reason why I have my two best friends, who I ended up going to Vegas with and now we have a trip to Disney coming up!

I was in a drama group in highschool… all of my favorite memories from those four years come from that drama group. My favorite memory is of the first time I stepped out of my shell and took a risk in front of people that I didn’t know very well (but would become some of my closest friends). The script called for my character to shout at another character. The directors weren’t paying very much attention to what was going on on stage, but they looked very surprised when I actually started yelling! It was an affirming moment for me, because everyone was very encouraging after, and it opened a lot of doors for friendships and other roles in the drama group.

I loved my class retreat senior year. Having that time with my friends before we all parted ways for college was a wonderful experience.

loved high school lunch times with friends!

@abi - Oh, I know how you feel! I was in Drama club, too. Drama held so many great memories for me and it really brought me out of my shell, too. I was (and still am, really) a ridiculously shy person, but I had a really outgoing and loud friend who made me join with her. I can still remember my first time on stage. It was improv and my friend and I were paired together. Our scene was to enact two crazy people escaping from an insane asylum. I was supposed to be wrapped in a straight jacket and as I ran out onto the stage, I tripped over my own feet and fell…but, I managed to keep my arms in straight jacket position and worked it into our scene. The best moment was when we were done and leaving the stage, I heard one guy whisper to his friend, “they NAILED it!”

I was SO happy.

I can’t wait to see this movie! 

My favorite high school moment definitely stands out far above the rest.

I moved to a new town in 8th grade and the very first day, I was made to sit next to a particular boy…and I had a crush on him ever since we made eye contact that day. We never really spoke much until high school, where we became friends of a sort. We only had two classes together and we were close enough to talk in only one of those classes, so we still never really got to talk much. But, my giant crush on him never lessened — in fact, it only made me want to be closer to him.

Then, one day — one fantastic winter day — after school, I was standing outside with a circle of friends, waiting for the buses and chatting. I happened to turn around and see my crush leaving the school…and he was RUNNING full-speed toward my group. He ran right up to me, grabbed me and kissed me hard on the lips, while all my friends cheered.

It was an amazing moment, like a scene right out of a movie. :3

One of my favorite high school memories is junior prom. We didn’t make any reservations beforehand and my date picked me up way too early, so we went to eat at Bob Evans and then swung by the movies in our prom attire to watch 28 Weeks Later. 

@Moonquake@xanga - Aren’t drama people the best?!

My favorite high school memory would probably be that for 4 years I dreaded going to that god forsaken place and wined about it more than I care to remember, and now that it’s all said and done all my friends and I have gone in different directions and living new lives, I miss it more than I could have ever imagined.

My favorite high school memory was dressing up as members of the Clue Murder Mystery to raise money for United Way : )

My favorite high school memory was of my biology teacher, Mrs. Heggs.
She noticed that I was always reading a new book.  As soon as I finished one, I started on another. She started letting me borrow books from her own personal collection to read since I loved reading so much, and the very next year she started a sort of library with her books from home since she offered some newer more interesting books to the kids than the school library did. 
It was very nice to be at the beginning of something that’s has such an impact on the students there now.

I loved my junior year in high school. Me and my friends became closer than we ever had before. We went through the tough academic years together and took trips together. We worked hard on homecoming, we’d have sleep overs, chats, bake for each other. It was just a fantastic year all around! I never felt so happy, successful, and perfect about my life haha

The reason I love this book so very much has to do with my favorite high school memory. I live out in the country and after I got my license my best friend and I would go for drives. We would explore back roads, and get lost and confused and struggle to find our way back home. But we were never worried or afraid, we were together and our favorite songs would be with us on our stereo to help shape us into the people we would become. This book helped me realize that I wasn’t the only person who understood what an empty road and loud perfect music could do for the soul. I’ve felt infinite in the best possible way.
