10 Signs You Graduated From Edmond North High School

Some look at North as nothing more than the "snobby rich kid" school of OKC, but it so much more than that! Even though I have definitely had some bad days over the years, I am proud to say that I am a Husky and always will be a Husky!

1. Some of your high school classes were harder than your college classes

 

North literally offered AP everything, from AP Music Theory to AP Chinese to AP European History. North was also known for being very academically challenging and competitive, which prepared you for college big time.

2. The parking lot was always filled with Mustangs and Range Rovers

 

Probably the most well-known stereotype North has is that we are the “rich kid” school. This right here explains why were are known as that.

3. The hallways were literally a fashion show

 

Kendra Scott earrings, Tori Burch sandals, and Lululemon everything were essential parts of the unofficial Edmond North uniform. T-shirts and sweats did not cut it here, you came to school every single day dressed like you are going to church.

4. Getting to class on time in 5 minutes was most definitely a struggle

 

Junior year, I had my anatomy class over by the Siberian Gym and my next class was in the Band hall, which was on the complete opposite of the school. With 2500 students scrambling to get to class on time, getting to your classes was definitely a huge struggle. Most of my teachers strictly enforced the tardy policy too.

5. Friday Night Lights were always lit

 

When I was a student, all of our varsity football games were played at the UCO Wantland stadium. The student section was always lit, even when we were losing. The student section had a different dress-up theme for each game and Edlam was the biggest social event of the year.

6. Your graduating class had about 30 valedictorians

 

With a class of about 600 graduating seniors, over 30 of them are tied for the highest GPA. That is one of the things that comes with going to such a large school.

7. You knew all about Oak Tree

Oak Tree was the exclusive “rich kid” neighborhood off of Waterloo and Kelly complete with the best country club in town. At football games, many students held up Oak Tree flags and wore Oak Tree attire. Our rival high schools, Memorial and Santa Fe, would hold up signs that say stuff like “choke tree”. We proudly embraced Oak Tree and were very proud of it!

8. Rules did not exist in the after-school car line

 

It was nearly impossible to get out of the senior parking lot right after 7th hour because so many parents of freshmen are breaking every rule of parking lot manners while waiting to pick up their students.

9. BALTO Week was the most lit week of the year!

 

BALTO stands for Bring A Light To Others and every year, North has a week long event where we raise money for a local charity. My senior year, we raised over 600,000 for Hearts For Hearing, which is a local nonprofit that provides children with free hearing aids and cochlear implants. The week consists of assemblies every day, puppy chow, oreo balls, an auction, sport tournaments, a 5K and a blacklight dance. We also had pretty cool T-Shirts every year too.

10. Beach Week was the 2nd most lit week of the year!

 

Up until 2017, Henderson Hills Baptist Church held their annual summer camp called Beach Week at the Laguna Beach Christian Retreat in Panama City. So many students from North attended Beach Week, even some that went to other churches. Beach Week consisted of crazy fun theme nights, lot of worship, prayer, fun, rec games, and bonding over a love for Jesus!


I am so glad I graduated from the #1 ranked high school in Oklahoma! The prepared me well for college and I have so many awesome memories and friendships from my time there! It's always great to be an Edmond North Husky!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
