The More You Know...!
My high school is in the Urban Dictionary.
Noun. An obscure high school in Eastern Washington unremarkable except for its slavish devotion to football and its use of an atomic mushroom cloud as a mascot.

1. Townsend Harris High School 90 up, 14 down
An extremely competitive high school focused on humanities in Flushing, Queens, and is labeled as one of the "top high schools" in the city. It's got high SAT scores by students, a 100% graduation rate most years, and near perfect passing rates of state tests.
It's difficult to get in; an incoming student needs excellent grades. It's difficult to even BE in the school, as the workload is insane. A student's classes are all honors and APs, and additional projects called "collaterals" are added to the curriculum. The physical education program is also rigorous.
The most common complaint by attending students is stress from overwork. Another complaint is a suffering social life, or perceived lack thereof.
It is said that a 90 in THHS is worth a 95 in most public schools. Is that supposed to make us happy?
Child: I wanna go to Townsend Harris High School! I'm going to study like fuck!
Harrisite: How bout you just enjoy your youth?
Go Hawks!

Mine is in UD too, but not as entertainingly as either of yours.

Hee hee! That's really...something, about the mushroom cloud.
I looked up my town and found a racist rant. Sigh. There were also a few entries for my high school, all written by high school students, judging by the entries' rancorous tones.
