westford academy

the public high school in westford, massachusetts. it boasts a pretty competitive college-bound atmosphere, so there's pressure to get involved with extracurriculars and sports. it definitely has its cliques, but they can blend pretty easily with one another; there aren't any turf wars or anything like that. good-looking girls, pretty successful sports teams, and 96% of its graduates go on to college, and 1% into armed services. so, if you aren't planning on going to college, you're in the minority. the mascot is the grey ghost, which sounds kind of lame, but is pretty unique. at least its not the freaking raiders or warriors, which everyone else seems to be. the football team usually loses to acton-boxborough on thanksgiving, except for 2005, when they won 7-6 in the snow. that was sweet. the staff at WA is pretty good, you can tell they care about the students.
