20 Signs You Went to Narragansett High School

Going to a small high school comes with some perks and disadvantages. From everyone knowing everything about each other to having teachers that are practically family (some actually were), these are the 20 signs you went to Narragansett High School!

1. You had almost all of your teachers more than once

With such a small school, a lot of teachers are required to teach several classes. You had many of the same teachers freshman and senior year.

2. Your teachers also ran the clubs

Yup, you weren’t done with your teachers at 1:52. Most days you would be with them until 3pm.

3. Teachers coached your sports teams

Hey, it’s a small school, but our teams were always very competitive.

4. Your teacher somehow knew your parents or some of your other relatives

Many of the teachers either live in the same town and they know your family that way or they know your extended family from years ago. Rhode Island really is a small state.

5. You grew really close to your teachers

When senior year rolled around and it was time to ask for letters of recommendation for college, you knew there were several options.

6. It never took more than a few seconds to go from class to class

The school was so small and the classes were all so close together that you knew there was plenty of time to go to the bathroom, stop at your locker, or grab a snack before the next period.

7. You could wear whatever shoes you wanted

You didn’t have to worry about climbing stairs, so if you felt daring enough to wear those wedges, go right ahead!

8. Everyone parked in the same spot everyday

You did not have assigned parking in the student lot, but for the most part, everyone parked in the same spot every day. If an outsider came in to observe, they would think parking was assigned.

9. The athletic fields were abundant

Fo’ real, the athletic fields have got to take up more space than the actual school! When you wanted to meet someone on the baseball field, you had to clarify, “practice or game”.

10. Being close to the elementary school and middle school was great

Being able to walk to the other schools was super convenient when you had to run over there for a reason. Small town perks!

11. Your classes were never larger than 20

Even though they could be, they never were. If it was presentation day, typically everyone could present in one day.

12. Your classes were sometimes less than 10

No joke, senior year my Spanish class had only seven students. There was no hiding there!

13. Sometimes you could get the teacher to move the class outside

On super nice days, if you asked politely, some teachers would agree to move class discussions outside. Just remember the sunscreen!

14. The teacher sometimes has a student check homework

Cue the awkwardness when one friend did not do their homework and the other friend has to tell the teacher.

15. Most of your classes contain the same students

Throwback to elementary school when we all traveled in one group cause that’s basically still what happens.

16. You really got to know everyone in your grade

You’ve been with many of them since elementary school, some even Kindergarten or pre-school, so you know all of your classmates really well.

17. You play sports with your friends

Everyone who tried out made the team, so why not try something new?!

18. School dances were a tad awkward

“Ummm yeah he’s cute, but I don’t know if I would say yes if he asked me to dance, cause remember that one time in third grade he picked his nose?”

19. You realllllly got to know everyone

I can’t stress this one enough. Gossip gets around and you learn a lot more about some people then you ever thought you would or wanted to. But, it makes you a better and more compassionate individual.

20. You made friendships that you know will last a lifetime

You shared a lot of good times with those people you spent years in and out of a classroom with. The memories you created will last you forever!
