Colonial, Ranch, or Split-level?

So...today I'm resesrching houses and schools in MD. Here's some of what I found:



My first thought upon the encounter of this website was "Why, it's just like HF! They, too, have a tradition of excellence!" Upon further examination, I discovered that I could join breakdancing club, latin dancing club, German, Italian, or French club, or, my personal favorite, Jewish awareness club. The club's purpose is "to share Jewish heritage and customs with Jewish and non-Jewish students". Gee, that sounds great.I'll bet they get to learn about the Holocaust, too.



Now here's a school I really like. See, I happen to be a person, so I matter! They sure know how gove the people what they want...

My actual favorite is Howard High, who doesn't have a slogan. Maybe that's why I like it. Or maybe, it's because it's the only high school that I"ve looked at to have an AP program. I think, though, it's because of this:



It's by far the coolest house that exists in Columbia, MD (and the surrounding area). It's in the middle of a woods, on tons of land, although if I really feel like chilling in suburbia, it's right outside the forest.
Plus, it is not an ugly vinyl-siding and brick split-level horror. And...check this out


Purple=black people
Yellow=asians
Teal=Hispanic
Blue=(you guessed it) white people

I know that the whites are still a huge majority, but I mean, there are still other ethnic groups represented, more than the other schools, too.

So I guess that's the best I'm going to get. Disappointing, but okay.

Jewish Awareness Club sounds fun. We could have a really awesome game of "My People Suffered More Than Your People". Of course, all of the Jewish people would win. And possibly a black person. But as we see from the graph, there's only like 12 black people there...
