Get the hoghead mug.A town where the high schooler's want to get out so bad and then when they do, they want to come back. The town is not as bad as everything puts it out to be. Horseheads has some of the most musically talented people in the area. The sports are decent. Just depends on which sport you do. They call it " Whoresheads" because some of the girls do put themselves out there but not every girl does. There is almost no crime rate what so ever. The town is always there for everyone. Hated by other schools for being the "Rich" school when in the winter time it's below 0 in the classrooms, because they can't afford fricken heat. You'll meet some of the best people in the world in this little town and friends that will last a life time. They throw the best parties and the people are the most fun to hang out with. Horseheads really is the place to grow up and grow old with someone in.
