Me, too. I was at MMM when Jindal was there (he was Piysh then), got accepted to BRHS but went to Lee because I wanted to experience football.
Looking back, stupid move on my part
I can't hate the decision b/c I somehow made good grades and went to LSU. But man so many of my friends were in and out of prison or dead a few years after HS. My parents were happy to get me in MMM to avoid Kenilworth.
You probably went to Lee with my oldest brother. Basketball player and big fan of Coach Almond(followed him to Woodlawn his Sr year).
ETA: I still remember Ms Scott for Algebra, Mr Harrelson and Mrs O'Rourkes English classes. Ms Potts for Geography.
Oh and Mr Marston's American History class(that's where I met Shelby Holmes RIP. Spanish Town ball Sat night was nice gesture to his legacy).

Yeah there were also some really awesome teachers at SMHS before they let the neighborhood thugs attend. Teachers that you could tell were passionate about the subjects they taught and wanted their students prepared for college and to succeed. You wanted to do well in their classes to make them proud you looked up to them so much back then.

I was at Lee 86-89. Don't remember a Coach Almond. I don't even remember who the basketball coach was though

Exactly. They would get mad at you for making silly mistakes and shite on a test. You could feel that shite like a tangible arse chewing.

I too went to McKinley Middle then got accepted to BRHS. Then I moved to MS and had to go to public school and it was quite the culture shock. I was used to intelligent kids from many different races, then suddenly got dropped into a bunch of dumbass white and black kids. I didn't see an asian or indian kid for the next 3 years of high school! Then when I finally begged my dad to put me in private school, it was all white kids. Everything was so centered around sports, it is kinda sad. I mean, McKinley, BRHS and even the elem school I went to in BR had the coolest classes (sculpture, art, gymnastics, tap, jazz, ballet, german, calligraphy, etc) and then I move to MS and my option is Spanish.

Saying Ben Franklin has a football team is being kind. They are awful, even dropping out of district so they can play smaller schools like Ecole Classique. Baseball and basketball don't fare much better. But they have great soccer, tennis, volleyball...

I think the no football/basketball/baseball rule went into effect as a result of the school's ability to pull students from across the parish. Athletes from across the parish would want to go there and the resulting teams were juggernauts prior to the rule.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong. This place is good at that.
