5 signs you went to Stanton College Preparatory School

Stanton College Preparatory School is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 high schools in the state. Stanton offers the International Baccalaureate Program, advanced placement and honors-level classes. The school also has a rich history. It was the first school of education for African-American children in Jacksonville.

Here's a list of undeniable signs you went to Stanton:

1. You were regularly called “nerd” or “geek”… and weren’t at all offended by it.

2. Your backpack weighed enough to cause serious back problems.

3. You cried over a C.

4. You were a regular at the McDonald's on 8^th Street.

5. Twenty-plus years later, you’re still friends with your high school friends … and they’re all doctors.
