Amanda was summonsed to the assistant principal’s office yesterday. She did not know why. When she arrived she saw that he was looking at form that all seniors had completed recently. He asked, “You began kindergarten in Frisco ISD?” She assented. He was preparing certain recognitions for upcoming “Senior Day” and he was finding it very rare that seniors began their school years here. So far he had found only three (of 300).
She told him that she had attended seven different schools in the system. No one else had more than five. She’s going to be recognized for that too. (For those familiar with Frisco, she attended Curtsinger, Smith, Rogers, Fisher, Pioneer, Frisco, and Wakeland.) Ironically, missing from that list are our present elementary and middle schools, a K-1 that Ryan attended here and of course, Foothill Elementary in California where she was in 2nd grade.)
You know, Frisco has grown at least fourfold in the 13 years since we moved here. But still, when she went to kindergarten there were two elementary schools and probably 100 kids. Have 97 moved away? Well, if we still lived in that home, she would be attending a different high school, and there are four high schools now. Our current high school district was just a bunch of corn fields and a grain silo back in ’96.
So I guess the factors that contributed to her “record” are that a new elementary school opened in our neighborhood right before 1st grade, we moved to a relatively undeveloped quadrant of town a couple years later, and her high school career began a year before the current high school was built.
