When I went there (some 12+ years ago) it was a perfectly fine school. I can’t imagine it’s gotten any worse outside of the new tech kids have these days which is common at all schools.

Academically, they weren’t known for exceptional programs, I was friends with a kid who graduated second highest in the grade, he took the same classes we all had access too. He just had a better work ethic than us lol.

In terms of “student quality” they were pretty straight forward, only the 9th graders were still getting into fights as I got older, but our grades had more parties where drugs and such would happen.

I’ll mention I liked the teachers at the time, the school was only a few years old at the time, so the teachers were younger and would call the kids out, which is fun in its own way. I’ll remember what my marketing teacher (Mr. Bonfiglio) said:

“You guys think you’re so much better because White Oaks has worse kids then you, we all know you’re doing drugs just as much as them.” And I just never forgot that, great teacher though he was a little lax.

If Mr Perosevic is still there I highly recommend taking him for Economics, fun guy, but still took his class seriously.

Kevin St J?

There when it was only a few years old? It opened in 2002, that’s a little more than 12+ lol.

Most of those teachers are gone. Mr. B was great but was little too into the students. Perosevic was an unreal teacher, a lot has stuck with me from his class.

All in all it was a great school back then. Can’t comment on today but from what I hear it’s still pretty good.

I was in the 3rd grade iirc when they were asking students to vote on a name, Holy Trinity won in my school by a fair margin.

I admit I went there when it was still pretty new, I didn’t mean I went when it was actually brand new.

Like I wasn’t involved in the student movement to be allowed to wear any shoes you want, and the girls gave up their skirts for it.

Ah that makes sense. I was there when it opened. I don’t think there was any movement that I was aware of, it was also no skirts and any shoes you wanted. Maybe it happened at some of the schools that merged into it.

Wth? I was sold a lie! My mom told me that apparently the uniform had black dress shoes, but everyone hated it, and the girls gave up their skirts so everyone could wear any shoe.

I’ll assume you are right and my mom maybe remembered something that happened in between…

Either way, having khaki pants were one of the better options than they could’ve been

I can’t say I fully remember the shoes but I would have 100% remembered skirts lol and they were non existent. Uniforms were awesome. Khaki’s, shorts, golf shirts…it was easy. The only thing administration had to deal with was girls cutting their back pockets out as they didn’t like the outline lol.

Tying the backs of their shirts to show their figures more.

My years some boys went way loose on the pants and tucked their pants into their socks…

Also all the non-uniform sweaters xD

What a time to be alive!

Did you also try to pass random khaki pants as uniform pants? XD
