An Essay by Hayden, with ideas by Hayden and Will.

One day, as Will and I were going on our daily coffee run second period, we started to notice some similarities between our school district and the one of everyone's favorite glee fic, Dalton. To start, Our District is split into three schools: Calhoun, Kennedy, and Mepham, and you basically get to go choose whichever one you want, you just need to sigh a form they hand out in middle school.

Let's start with Kennedy, the school that Will, Lindsay, Rachel, Alyssa, Katie, and I all go to. From the moment you walk into our school you'll notice several trends. Everyone here always has a cup of coffee in their hand (most likely iced french vanilla). The entire school is a giant stress bomb. This is where all of the overachievers are, the people who have published research papers, work hours on Advanced science research papers, cancel Friday night plans for extra study hours, and cancel vacation plans to do labs for a class that doesn't even exist to the other two schools as no one signs up for it (all of these situations real, and in fact belong to the people tagged above). These are the people who wright essays comparing their schools to fictional ones for fun. Fun fact: there is a student in our school who's dad is NYS senator Fuschillo. That makes him the senator's son. Yeah.

Then there's Calhoun. This is where most of the singers and actors end up, however not all (take Alyssa for example. She's a phenomenal artist but fits better with Kennedy as the classes are more advanced, which she excels in.) Since they have most of the artists, most of the people who go their are I-think-I'm-better-than-everyone douche-bags with a god complex. They think they could do anything they want because "they have more originality". They also have a HUGE rivalry with Kennedy as you could probably tell form the animosity in that last statement.

Mepham doesn't really do much, they're kind of just the third school for the people who don't want to get involved in the drama. They tend to to keep to themselves.
