It seems often when Dr. Hammond speaks, she talks about Grand Blanc’s levels of diversity. I can only speak for myself when I look around for this racial and ethnic potpourri, and see lot more white faces than advertised.
“Is Grand Blanc diverse enough?” is the question, but how diverse is “diverse enough?”
I have friends at other local high schools that talk about the one or two black people they know and it always seems absurd to me, as it would for most Grand Blanc High School students, I imagine. Maybe …

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, began with a terrible tragedy. Nodar Kumaritashvili, a luger from the Georgian Olympic team, was killed during his trial run of what would have been the 21-year-old athlete’s first Olympic games. Kumaritashvili’s fatal crash was caused when he lost control in the final turn and was thrown off his luge and over the side of the track where his body hit a steel pole. Paramedics tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead later at the Whistler Hospital.
Millions of people grieved along …

Valentine’s Day brings a certain tension to the air. I wouldn’t be surprised if guys particularly loath the fact that they are ‘pressured’ to make sure that this day is perfect for their girl, and that she still wants to be with him when all is said and done. Breaking up is harder when you don’t have an incredibly good reason. Here are some reasons that should make it really easy for you girls:

Ready or not, the dreaded month of March is approaching. While most people think of March as the beginning of spring, for juniors, March is the much-feared month in which they will be forced to take the ever so terrifying ACT.
Odds are, despite that your teachers are doing their best to prepare you, most of you are still shaking in your skin with anxiety. But never fear, in order to take some of the stress off of you, your loving seniors have compiled a list of things that …

Letter to the Editor
By Matthew Joyner
As a member of the Grand Blanc Community, and High School student I have always found that the speakers that present their oratory to Grand Blanc High School students are usually very impressive.  Mr. Lookadoo was an exception to this trend.  The level of sentiment afterwards was the equivalent to knowing that something is wrong with a close friend, despite denial.  Something did not feel right, and it felt as though something was very wrong about the whole situation.  Some people, I found, were filled …

Okay, so you’ve joined the Facebook group, “I’m a kid of the ‘90s,” and you’ve taken all the quizzes to see if you’re truly cut out to be called one, but do you remember what you did for the holidays when you were a kid?
Personally, it was all about grabbing a blanket and snuggling up by the fire listening to mom read The Night Before Christmas every Christmas Eve. I realize not everyone celebrates Christmas, but perhaps this will take you all back to when you felt happiness overflowing inside …

As if we don’t already know, parents love to give us “children” pieces of advice that, for most, are pure common sense. Parents are constantly nagging their children on a wide range of topics; anywhere from staying away from sex and drugs to asking what you are going to do with the rest of your life.
One major thing that parents love to bother their kids about is doing the right thing and making the right choices. As if we haven’t heard this speech from about the time we were four …

Asher Roth appeared in Flint, Mich. on Nov. 19 at The Whiting. Known for the hit song “College,” he may have many fans, but that night the auditorium was pretty empty; it holds around 2,000 people, but only 200 or so showed, a very small crowd for a rap artist.
Stereotypes would suggest that more people would have been there, considering it’s a rap concert in Flint. Maybe Asher Roth isn’t considered a rapper. Just because he pretty much talks his lyrics as opposed to actually singing on most of his …

Imagine this: Thanksgiving day, you walk into your grandparents’ house only to be overwhelmed by the wafting aromas of delicious turkey and mashed potatoes, seeing the slowly burning fire, and hearing the laughter of family you have waited to see for months. A perfect scene, right? Then, to top it all off, your uncle harmlessly flips on the football game only to reveal his favorite football team down by 27 with three minutes to go. Wait…there’s something wrong here…maybe…oh yeah—the Lions.
Somehow the only way to enjoy a Lions Thanksgiving game …

Apparently, people have such dull lives that they have to obsess over people who we call “Celebrities.” People spend hours reading, youtubing, and twittering about their biggest idols, the young and the old of Hollywood. We obsess over every aspect of these people’s lives; we will stop at nothing, to know everything. Talk about an invasion of privacy.
Every week people get lost in celebrity tabloids, learning about what their favorite stars eat, wear, do in their free time, and even what they do behind closed doors. It may …
