The mantra of the greatest neighborhood high school in Chicago, TAFT High School. The phrase "School starts at 7:30" was popularized by the pragmatic and sometimes controversial principal, Mr. G in 2015 and reinforced with a series of humorous short videos. These videos include the principal riding a BMX bike, playing the drums and popping a wheely on a motorcycle. More videos were provided by state politicians, Chicago sports icons and Snooki from Jersey Shore fame.
