Does anyone have details on the turf field damage created by High School Nation? It must be significant. From the pictures, it looks like they might have driven large trucks onto the field along with heavy stages. Here's a shot of a smaller stage with a truck in the background.



great High Schools doing great things

Now Blair has to reschedule tonight's "Home" football game to Wheaton HS. Way to go Blair Administration. I sure hope High School Nation was worth it.

Don´t know, but they had it at Watkins Mill and I heard they will have it at Clarksburg too.

Does the BOE know that the principals are allowing a commercial enterprise during the school day? Almost seems like High School Nation is ¨paying¨ the schools by way of a donation of arts and music equipment in order to have access to students. In order for the students to get ¨free stuff" from vendors, they are required to follow them on various social media platforms.



The BOE likely doesn't care.

This. Be honest.

But it’s crappy that they had to cancel a soccer game for the mess. I guess that’s on the students though.


What a basic lower middle class perspective.


You can't send your kid to a public school that needs more funding and expect them to act like they don't.

I feel bad for the seniors. It seems the field damage caused by High School Nation may have been more than just trash.


That sucks.


Agreed.

No, but the principle told security to look the other way if kids left school grounds.

There was a compressed schedule in the morning and they were supposed to go to their last period for 6 mins at the end of the day, so he was marked absent then.


And 9th period met as always if a kid had a 9th period.
