Situated in Redding, CT this high
school is made up of the Easton and Redding kids, because both towns are basically too small to have their own place. School spirit is at an all time low, and doesn’t seem like we’
ll start yelling ‘Barlow’s got the Power’ with our disliked cheerleaders until our athletics shape up and everyone come down from their high or sobers up a little bit. If you ask a Barlow kid what they listen to, most likely they will either say Dave Matthews Band or, if they think they are
scene, From First to Last or Bleed the Dream.
The
school has this wonderful tendency to be really
weird. The walls for instance, are pink splattered paint that is sometimes known as “pig vomit paint”. Also, if you are looking for the record holder of pulled fire alarms in one year, you may want to check out Barlow. Those who were in the
school in 2004-2005 will remember the ‘mercury spill’ when the whole
school was denied lunch because someone spilt a little mercury on the floor near the cafeteria.
Barlow kid 1: oh my god, I'm so high right now, the stuff on the walls are moving!
Kid 2: dude, I'm not high, but I think they might be....
OR
Kid one: Look! A kid that isn't white and I don't know them!
kid two: What? At Joel Barlow High
School? No way! There's only like, two in the
school! Did we have to get more to come here so it doesn't seem like the
school is racist?
