Two different schools in two different states with interesting facts about them.
How are the schools different?
At CKM High School we get to go to school at a different time than JCHS students. Here, you have to be in your class by 8:30 or we are considered late. But at my old school, JCHS, I had to be in class by 8:05 or I would be late. Jenkins County School is way smaller than CKM and their classes are all inside instead of outdoor classes like CKM.
Grades and classes
At C.K. McClatchy High School, I got to take 6 classes my whole year of that school term. At Jenkins County High School you have to take 4 classes one semester and another 4 different classes the second semester. In order to pass at CKM you have to pass your classes with a 60 or above, but at JCHS you have to pass all your classes with a 70 or above. Also, when I was at Jenkins County our subjects were very different from CKM’s.
High School tradition
On homecoming week at CKM we get to dress up for the spirit days and the students get to run for homecoming court. They get to vote for homecoming court for 9th,10th and 11th as well as a homecoming king and queen from whichever senior gets homecoming court. Jenkins County students do almost the same thing on the dress-up days but they only get a homecoming queen and the lower classmen just are representatives.
Dress code
At Jenkins County High School, we had to wear uniforms such as white, gray, navy, or any blue-collar shirts with khaki or navy jeans. We were only allowed to have natural hair colors. When I was going to JCHS I got sent home for having pink hair. In Sacramento, at C.K. McClatchy High School, we are allowed to wear anything to school but the clothing cannot be showing any private areas, undergarments, or any gang-affiliated symbols/designs.
Capacity
C.K. McClatchy is a large school, having about 3,000 students attending. In Millen, Jenkins County is the only school that stands. Only about 316 students attend Jenkins County High School.
Final words
Some things that go on at McClatchy most likely don’t occur in other states. Schools have different rules and regulations when it comes to how they want their students to behave, dress and learn. When I attended JCHS I learned differently than how I’m learning at CKM. Our homecoming at JCHS was completely different from my new school here at CKM. I attended two different schools in two different states that have similar and different things about each other.
