Well Known Catholic High School (All Boys) Cancels their Prom

[IndieMatty]

Chaminade High School, is a pretty highly regarded high school on the East Coast. It's hard to get into, and even harder to graduate from. It prides itself on a strict upbringing that focuses on the Catholic faith, Integrity and Scholarship. (Think Heaven Help Us, but a little more modern--with better teachers). It is actually exempt New York State education laws, because of its stature.

What do you guys think about this? After it's lesser sister school (which is co-ed) canceled the prom. They mailed this letter out monday.

The Link to the Letter
As much as I disagree with the type of institution, if a young man chooses to go there (or in some cases forced -cough cough), I think it makes perfect sense for the school to take this stand. Proms are way too MTVish now. I actually agree with this school and give them kudos for standing up for their beliefs (although they are not my own).

Anyway, I thought this was minorly interesting. And it gives a good sense of the overall tone of my old stomping grounds. Which, FWIW, was not as bad as I usually claim. I'd definitely be living in my parents basement without this place.

Yes, it's an all boys school, and they are called the Flyers.
