If you went to a private, Christian high school, you understand it is an experience that is unforgettable and incredibly unique. There were definitely some fun highlights coming from a Christian high school, such as performing in drama club or supporting classmates in a game. However, there were some low points, such as not branching out or not experiencing a big school dance. Only people who have lived through it will truly understand the struggle and the humor that was attending a Christian school. No one will understand the deep friendships made, or how fast news spread, dress codes, the overload of homework and adjusting to the real world after graduating. Here are 22 signs that you, in fact, attended a Christian high school.
1. Everyone knows who you are
Even if you are new, you will be known by the 2nd period
2. Even the teachers know who you are
Including the ones that you have never had a class with.3. The teachers care about who you are
They know when you mysteriously take too long of a bathroom break.
4. Your school was also a middle school
5. And maybe even an elementary school
6. You had strict dress code policies
You were slightly hesitant, but you came around to the idea of not planning what to wear.7. You were dress coded several times a week
8. You had about five classrooms for all your subjects
9. Homework was actually expected of you
What even is homework? Oh, right the endless nights of essays and projects you were assigned daily.

Again, they cared.
11. You attended a mandatory Bible class
You spent the entire class listening to a few people have biblical arguments with the teacher.12. You became well versed in prayer talk

There was no hiding.
15. Except, perhaps, that one thing you managed to keep hidden
One thing about having everyone know your business, you learned how to hide the real truth.
16. Everyone was a strong Christian on chapel days
Chapel was where everyone let loose on their Jesus praises.
17. There was absolutely no PDA
18. Dating was a more challenging concept with all eyes on you
