Marvin is 22 miles south of
Charlotte. Recently it was unofficially dubbed the town full of the most rich people in the state of North Carolina. We have a fast growing population of 6,500. The rich kids (the families who make more than $350,000) attend Marvin Ridge, the richest, newest, and highest rated
high school out of the thirteen in Union County.
A school dichotomized by two major factions -- nerds/aspiring students and the rest of the athletes /rich kids. Central is also paradoxical in many forms.
Case-in-points:
1) Our School is
home to a kid who got no questions wrong on both the
SAT and the ACT -- despite the fact that he was
stoned during both tests.
2) Often a locus for great athleticism, Marvin Ridge routinely succeeds in football and basketball. After the sports games, it is not unusual to see a kid picked up in a Rolls Royce
Phantom.
3) We are located in one of the wealthiest cities in the state of North Carolina, yet our school is always the last school to get new computers because the rich white kids
will just tear them up in 3 months because they have Affluenza.
4) Finally, Marvin Ridge is horribly over-crowded. However, it'
s still better than sending your kids to a private school, as Marvin Ridge has better test scores than said school- probably.
Our motto is the Mavericks, and I'm sure the rich people at our school could win a lawsuit with Ford if needed.
Marvin Ridge
High School is a raucous concrete jungle, but I sure as hell will not miss it.
I love the smell of
money in Marvin Ridge
High School.
At Marvin Ridge High School, it will not be uncommon to announce the winner of a national award, or a 36 ACT, and have the fire alarm pulled in the same day.
At MRHS, I saw many preppy kids, interspersed with nerds and stoners.
I wish our school had a pool, but I'm sure some rich white guy
will have one installed someday because of how rich the school is.
The grafitti in the MRHS men's restroom indicates that our school is filled with many preppy, Republican, closet Neo-Nazis.
