Boston College High School (B.C. High) is by far the best and most prestigious private Jesuit preparatory school in the nation. The school is located in Dorchester, MA (a section of Boston) which overlooks Boston Harbor. It is near the Kennedy Library and University of Massachusetts. B.C. High was founded in 1863 and educates over 1500 all male students from grades seven through twelve. Tuition is quite high just like any other Catholic school, but many of the students receive scholarships and financial aid. Due to the schools priorities, students are not recruited based on their athletic abilities, but the football, basketball, baseball, swimming, hockey, golf, soccer, and track teams are amongst the best each season. The schools biggest rival is Catholic Memorial High School (CM). Located a few miles away in West Roxbury. B.C. High was ranked #10 in the nation for top sports programs, it was the only school in New England to be ranked. Students come from all over the state, some even from Rhode Island and New Hampshire to attend. However, the majority of the students come from the city of Boston. 99% of B.C. High graduates go on to attend a 4-year college. In Boston's magazine B.C. High was chosen as the number one high school for "Politicians in Training".

Get the Boston College High School mug.A rigorous Jesuit school just outside west Boston, which consistently admits intelligent, motivated kids. Admittedly we don't have that much economic diversity - most of the kids at BC, no matter what race they are, come from very wealthy families. Some of the international students at BC come from such powerful families that they use fake names at school. The school is famously preppy. Brooks Brothers is practically a school uniform and Vineyard Vines did a photo shoot at the school recently.
However, the school constantly tries to attract a more diverse student body and there are more middle-class and lower-middle class kids now than there were before.

Get the bostowned mug.A movie that takes place in Boston that's full of people talking in exaggerated Boston accents and Irish accents. Typically, such movies try to get the message across about just how great Boston is. Boston Movies often star actors who are native to Boston, such as Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Wahlberg, Ben Affleck and Casie Affleck. Such movies tend to be filled with special slang relevant specifically to Boston. Some of the well known Boston Movies are 'Good Will Hunting', 'The Boondock Saints' and 'The Departed'.
In light of its win of the Oscar for Best Picture, 'The Departed' is arguably the greatest Boston Movie.
