  • NICE SCHOOL GUYS
  • I graduated from there in 1965 when there was a 9th grade. We had so much fun. That was when motown was popular and had the hit songs of the day.
  • I was just wondering, who was the school named after?
  • This was the school that Asia Cottom attended before Sep. 11, 2001 I believe. May she rest in peace
  • Graduated 1998 Mr Cotton knew him very well may she rest in peace
  • She was my spouse's great aunt on her mother's side. She was a public school teacher, in DC, who eventually became superintendent of the DC school system. She befriended and mentored students who were outcasts. She had tea with Eleanor Roosevelt, in the White House, to discuss her idea of establishing a student government in public high schools.
  • I graduated from there in 1988 it was a good school academically and athletically and we had the hottest cheerleaders. Go eagles
