Talk:Meade Senior High School

Haddaway
According to this source and this one, a Nestor Haddaway attended Meade High from 1979–1983. A musician by the name of Haddaway did "grow up ... in the United States". This Haddaway is the right age to have graduated from high school in 1983, however I've found no reliable source linking Haddaway to Meade High. For now, I'm adding notice of the need for a source citation. &mdash;Adavidb 12:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Racial interaction
The first graduating class of Meade Senior, 1978, also witnessed conflicts between racial groups, so this report is not usual given the demographics of the student population. When MHS opened its doors, students came from multiple SES communities and neighborhoods. The wealthy students were from Providence, Fort Meade (military officer's children), and Maryland City in Laurel. The middle class students came from the surrounding communities (Harmon, Laurel). The "hoods" were represented by Pioneer City, Meade Village, Bacontown (Laurel), and other rural locations. Most of the students knew each other from junior high school (MacAuther -sp-), and"partying' together. But there was always brewing conflict especially between the Black students from Pioneer City and White students from Laurel and small communities. Not to mention the divide within racial groups based on SES communities. The open classrooms in the science wing were a joke. People would have conversations clear across the rooms during homeroom in the morning. The other academic subjects were in class like cubicles. The teachers were very good, very opinionated and very middle class and conservative. There was a Black Social Studies teacher from Washinton, DC named Mr. Taylor, who was very tolerant, yet firmly supported, of the students =, and discouraged the Black students from engaging in physical confrontations. He had glaucoma and later retired.

All high schools have problems and the school administration at Meade in the late 70s were racist and unsupportive of Black students from the low SES areas, or those students perceived to be problems. It would appear from your area that the situation did not change a dozen years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.109.235 (talk) 21:04, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
