What part of Beacon are you in? I used to live in Beacon Hills and attend Glenham Elementary and the Rombout Middle until we moved. I miss it there, although nothing about those schools particularly struck me as exceptional. Maybe things have changed since the early 90's.
I guess my screen name is a little misleading... I actually chose my name because I grew up in Ithaca, NY, where I was one of the only conservatives, and a very outspoken one. Fortunately, I went to Lansing Elementary, Middle and High School, avoiding the Ithaca Central School District. Now I live in Pittsford, NY, and go to Pittsford Mendon High School. You can look any of these up on Google, if you like. PMHS is nationally ranked, according to Newsweek. 37th in the nation, I believe.
