For someone who has not been to a high school class since, let's just say a LONG time ago, visiting the school was extraordinary. My memories of high school are of a much less diverse student body. These students are from all over - Rhode Island, Columbia, El Salvador, and many other places. Students float easily between conversing in English or Spanish, sometimes a mix of both.
The students have great pride in their heritage and eager to represent their origins and passions on their boots. Lots of students, especially the male students, know soccer well and want to represent their favorite teams - mostly national teams. Other students want to represent some of the symbols of their home countries through butterflies and flowers unique to their countries of origin.
