What Your Louisville High School Says About You
“Oh, you’re from Louisville? Where’d you go to high school?”
It’s the first question you’re asked when meeting a new person from Louisville.
Why? We can only imagine that many folks had their glory days in high school and have yet to move on.
We’ve compiled a small list of Louisville-area high schools, and from formaldehyde hallways to gym funk, we can tell you how others judge you from where you went to school. All in good fun, of course!
Tell us what your school was really like, and, as usual, if we’ve missed anywhere let us know and we’ll add it to the list.
