    It appears that my high school is now a day care center for delinquents

Via GoogleMyFaceTwitterPlusSpaceBook, “What is your civic idea for Creek
High? [1]”

My, how my high school (Coconut Creek High School) [2] has fallen (support
for the statistics above [3]). I remember back in 1986 (my junior year)
Coconut Creek High School had five Silver Knight [4] award winners, which is
amazing when you consider there are only twelve awards given each year, and
any senior in a Broward County high school [5] can compete. It was a record
at the time and one I think has yet to be broken.

It's sad to think how far down it has fallen.
