What your San Antonio high school says about you

In San Antonio, one of the first things people ask when they meet you is where you went to high school.

It’s not hard to figure out why. Folks are trying to learn details about your upbringing — whether you were raised in an affluent suburb, grew up in a working class area or hail from a more rural stretch of the Alamo City sprawl.

But we all know that assumptions are often wrong and that they can play on false perceptions and rumors. Just the same, people make some that are funny, weird or just plain unfair.

So, here’s a — hopefully — lighthearted look at what some people may think when you let them know where you went to high school in San Antonio. There are way too many campuses in the area to include them all, so consider yourself lucky if yours flew under the radar.

And remember, just because some people have these perceptions doesn’t mean they’re true!
