A real bullshitter. Takes no shame in being caught out and likes to make up the most pointless of lies.

Get the Townsend mug.A Townsend is typically a social pariah, with no self respect or decency. They usually have a tendency to steal and lie to anybody they ever meet, They are also of an extremely low intelligence including self esteem which is probably from the parents pushing them to be the "don" as a small child, when in reality a Townsend just cant. To summarise a person who is a Townsend is a complete goon who is literally to stupid to ever function in day to day life.

Get the Townsend mug.a high school in Flushing, Queens where the best students in the city go. Mostly Asians, but there are some others. Once the students get there, they are bombarded by homework and classwork and collaterals that take forever to complete. Even in 9th grade they are given college textbooks to read and expected to do insane amounts of work. Mostly girls. Better than stuyvesant or bronx science.
Side effects of going to thhs: insomnia, spinal problems, burned out brain, and insanity from stress.

Get the townsend harris mug.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?

Get the Townsend Harris High School mug.A public school located in Flushing that has an emphasis on the Humanities. There are about 1,100 students enrolled in this selective school. Girls make up the majority of the population. Students are "Harrisites".
All of the classes are honors level, so only APs are weighted. Every year, students are assigned special "collateral" projects in each subject. Collaterals can be research papers, presentations, poems, or even art projects.
Since THHS is part of CUNY Queens College, students must take college classes, free of charge, during senior year. They are also allowed to use qc facilities, including the library and gym, all four years.
THHS is a short bus ride away from Main Street, Flushing where there's a variety of Asian restaurants, cafes, and shops.
It's an extremely safe school with a small atmosphere. In 2010, the US News and World report ranked THHS #33 out of "America's Best Public Schools".

Get the Townsend Harris High School mug.A small middle class bedroom community located in the north/central section of Massachusetts on the New Hampshire/Massachusetts border. The town's public school system and athletic programs are remarkably mediocre. So, many families from Townsend with money or ambition send their children to one of the many local private schools (St. Bernards, Bishop Guertin, Cushing Academy, Groton School, Lawrence Academy) rather than Townsend's public high school, North Middlesex Regional. Most kids who do end up attending North Middlesex Regioanl are rednecks or stoners who love to smoke blunts and Marlboro Lights, drink Budweiser (probably bought at State Line in NH), use racial stereotypes, and suck at sports. Other than high school football games and substance abuse, Townsend has nothing to do. If you want to do anything else you have to travel to a surrounding community (Fitchburg, Pepperell, Groton, Leominster, Nashua, Lowell). These factors result in a serious lack of civic pride in Townsend.
The demographics of Townsend are very homogeneous as most of the town's population is comprised of white christians.
The town historically votes Republican.

I used to live in Townsend, Massachusetts. Here's an example of a conversation I might have heard in high school...
Townsend Kid 1: Dude I heard there's a kegger in
Timberlee Park.
Townsend Kid 2: Yeah, let's go pick up weed in Pepperell, rip a few bowls, park at the high school, and then head over.
Townsend Kid 1: I hope only white kids are there.
Townsend Kid 2: Of course!
