Graphics & LayoutsI'm originally from Brooklyn, NY but my mother got stationed in Panama City, FL. I've been back & forth between NY & FL, but Brooklyn will always be home for me. I have 3 kids. Two grown ass girls, & a bad ass son...but they're my babies and I couldn't see myself without them. I went to Rutherford High School in Panama City for my first 2 years of high school, and then I went back to Brooklyn where I graduated from Eastern District High School in 1996. Since 1996, Eastern District has closed down, and I can't say that I blame the NYC Dept of Education, because that place was a piece of shit! The only reason why I went to that place everyday was to finish high school and get my diploma. I looked up my old school on a google search and this is what I found:***Eastern District
Progress High School for Professional Careers is one of a trio of schools replacing Eastern District High School, which had become a haven for gangs and violence, fights and slashings. In contrast, today, Progress, like the rest of the building, is a mostly orderly place. Metal detectors are gone, hallways are neat, and kids who straggle are admonished to get to class on time. Academics have so improved that in 2001 Progress came off the state's "failing schools" list, where its predecessor had languished for 12 years before being closed. Although
Progress has much work to do, "it has now become a school of choice and not a school of last resort," says its personable principal, William Justino, who was born and raised in the neighborhood and deserves some of the credit for the turnaround. Other 2 schools in the 850 Grand Street Campus are The High School for Legal Studies and the High School for Enterprise, Business and Technology.
The schools share sports teams and other after school activities and some advanced placement classes. (Pamela Wheaton, May 2003)***It's amazing how such a shitty ass place can turn out someone as wonderful as myself...yeah, I got the big head! LOL
