    I've got cousins who went/go to school at Stadium. I actually attended a bad girls basketball game at which one was cheering. It is truly impressive, although the inside still looks like just about any other high school.

    "Combing the high schools," for his date. I believe.

    It's not nearl as impressive as Stadium in tacoma, but a vote for Torrance High School, which doubled as any number of TV/movie schools, including in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series.

    I can't think of a public high school I've ever visited that I thought was beautiful. I know mine wasn't.

    I've seen some private schools and prep schools that were pretty amazing, though. In fact, there are several within a couple of miles of my apartment, including one with athletic facilities that rival some major colleges.

    Torrance High was where "Beverly Hills 90210" was shot, not Beverly Hills High.
    There's a new school in Newport Beach called Sage Hill. Looks more like a trendy mall than a school. It's also a bit inland, not really near the beach. You need to have serious coin to go there. (I don't know how to post photos).

    If we are talking actual schools, Louisville St. Xavier has a very nice campus.

    Highland Park (Dallas, Texas) High School looks like a freaking country club. The main building has Red brick walls covered with ivy, and there are courtyards and other beautifully manicured lawns on the campus.

    I wish I could find pictures of it to show you all.

    Stadium underwent a two-year restoration and reopened about a year and a half ago.

    And Tacoma doesn't smell nearly as much as it used to.

    Nice avatar, MacDaddy.

    All these schools are a tad nicer than the cinder block prison I attended.

    And a little-known fact: Pretty sure Stadium Bowl (the Tacoma field) was the site of the graduation scene in "Say Anything."

    Ahh yes ... the Berry Center. Kicks the ass of anything in the Metroplex right now.

    Actually I think it technically is in Houston city limits. But Houston sprawls so much that it contains numerous suburban ISDs.
