[edit] racism
this is one of the most low key racist articles on wikipedia...of course the school's in Alabama! lol. I tried to make it a much more neutral article. Implications of the article: the only blacks in the school play sports, asians and whites are smarter, and intergration is a problem. But hey, that's Alabama for you. examples: African-Americans are well represented on the sports teams, i.e., football, basketball and track black side of town Their high asian and white demographic percentage helps Grissom maintain their academic excellence.
Elimination of the busses helped prevent severe integration
minority students may apply to attend the mostly white Grissom High if they can find their own transportation.
Was this feces written by a child? Wake up Alabama, this is the 21st century. Oh, I see whoever wrote this neglected to mention Grissom's rampant drug abuse. If you're reading this and go to Grissom, you know exactly what I'm talking about. p.s. the article was kind of funny though. --Poopoomagoo 09:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
hey I think there needs to be mention of the band program at Grissom. I have heard much about it.
-Mr. Schabazz
I am a student of Grissom and there is no "rampant drug abuse". If you are referring to the small pool of scum that every high school seems to collect, then yes, it would be rampant among them. Grissom High School also happens to have a nationally acclaimed jazz band program, within the past six year they have gone to the North Sea Jazz festival and has been invited to play at the Jazz Lincoln center for the Essentially Ellington program. It would make sense to include a section about them, but i dont know enough. oh well.
I should like to add that grissom is the most ethnically diverse high school in Huntsville, and that this is reflected in all of its classes. As a former football player, i can assure you that the football team is in no way ethnically "stacked". Facts about busing reflect common view point in Huntsville and perhaps most of the south that busing was a bad thing. Anytime you attempt to move people around, integration, or even partition of countries, chaos does to some extent result. However, in this case integration was worth its costs. The only way I would refer to Grissom as being segregated would be with regards to socio-economics, but even this doesn't really hold up. Indeed, I would guess that Huntsville is the rich, old money school with contacts in the Chamber of Commerce, City Council, and School Board. ````55
