Joel Barlow High School

Situated in Redding, CT this high school is made up of the Easton and Redding kids, because both towns are basically too small to have their own place. School spirit is at an all time low, and doesn’t seem like we’ll start yelling ‘Barlow’s got the Power’ with our disliked cheerleaders until our athletics shape up and everyone come down from their high or sobers up a little bit. If you ask a Barlow kid what they listen to, most likely they will either say Dave Matthews Band or, if they think they are scene, From First to Last or Bleed the Dream. The school has this wonderful tendency to be really weird. The walls for instance, are pink splattered paint that is sometimes known as “pig vomit paint”. Also, if you are looking for the record holder of pulled fire alarms in one year, you may want to check out Barlow. Those who were in the school in 2004-2005 will remember the ‘mercury spill’ when the whole school was denied lunch because someone spilt a little mercury on the floor near the cafeteria.
