Midwest Choppers Lyrics - Tech N9ne
Review The Song (18)
Welcome to misery where the killers pop it up
Whenever I say it and deal it at the turn of the gun
We can do it if anybody want it
Where the rapper niggas will call up and tell everyone
Misery loves company so we done with thee
Enemy where he be energy sendin me the route
My negativity trippin wit me you runnin fo yo life
Cause you ran your mouth MOUTH
We can sang or we can bang
It ain't no game we untamed
Whether its fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ain't no thang - MIDWEST CHOPPERS

We livin in pain
And it's a shame that you came and got drained
And listen mayn stay in your lane - MIDWEST CHOPPERS
Find a witness to murderers

Coming from out Of A sinister formidable place
I can let you know the ins and the outs
And I can spit it wicked
Twisted and you can see by the look on my face
Give me the mic and Imma mangle it, tangle it

Pigs you gotta try to make a mockery of a city
Who pock 'em n' block 'em pocket you baby We dangerous

Killers who chop you we got to stop you pop you partner 'n you cussin'
Get up out of the way when Techa Nina be bustin'

WTF IS THIS!!! | Reviewer: josh | 4/16/10
This song is awesome, but whoever put the lyrics on here...THEY ARE WRONG!!! I only went halfway through the lyrics and found MANY mistakes, whoever wrote this needs to listen better. DO NOT USE these lyrics, they suck.
?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/11/08
alright question for the true fans. settle this for me. The D-Loc featured in this song is NOT the same D-Loc in Kotton Mouth Kings. Am I correct. Oh yea and just a small correction. In Kaliko's verse, when it does the octave voice effect he's simply sayin, D-locs a choppa, dalimas a choppa, then techa ninas a choppa. yup.
big edits | Reviewer: Unger | 4/11/08
I'm learning to rap this song, and quite a few of the lyrics are wrong. Here's what I've got, its not 100% but probably like 98% right.(I started with this site's lyrics because they were the most accurate, but I added some edits) I'll also put the reason I know some of the goofier shit in the lyrics in -- like this --.
for tech n9ne:
"Welcome To Misery Where The Killers Pop It Off and When I say pop It
off I Mean Deadly we're The Tongue Of The Gun
We Can Do It If Anybody Want It Whether Rappin and
Get to Clapin up Another Tell Everyone"
-- tech n9ne's lyrics in other songs mention himself as the gun tongue a few times, so he's saying he is the tongue of the gun. --
"Lyrically we be the best in the midwest and we cake'd up
i aint talkin about women im talkin about paper
d-loc and dalima enter the center
and get coded and when in the competition we for sure to kill em
i spit like a fully and ready made
through any type of weather
with the beretta tucked right under my sweater
and we hotter than lava
the way that my gillas be keepin it poppin
partner you tight but my gillas are better
we keep it choppin like a blender
eatin boys up for dinner
guillotines we chop your heads off and throw em out the window
we too critical we ill and
you walking away looking so pitiful
the AGT we be the number one contenders
[when it come to the street we still post on the block]
40 cal on my lap and my middle finger up the cops
on the way to the studio to go and make another hot track
they be lovin the way that we spit it when we drop
they call me d-loc so the functioning definition of a soldier
my opposition is more culturaled, richer
i spit like a tommy
and anybody in my way ima fold em
and me and my gilla gorillas want it - can split it
caught us
boys be tryin to battle cuz they want our position
but they can never get in it because we better and bigger
and like i told ya we the number one competetors dealin
workin their way up to the top and they wont stop til they get the millions
in the home of the century d-loc and dalima
chemistry you can never cross with them
igganahs idah the ebe ossinbay the yricala iggertra eavela otherma uckerfay's lost
you can try to read us try to beat us
try to get your speed up but it aint gonna matter
cuz after we get finished bustin aint gonna be no laughter
we takin over the map with tecca nina the master"
-- he says "gillas" a few time because thats what they call their crew. its slang based on magilla gorilla, the cartoon ape. its like a play on my killer guerilla = magilla gorilla. --
-- AGT is the clique they are involved with --
-- the backwards sounding part is pig latin. i dont understand it perfectly but the syllables i have are right. made out it the way i wrote it would say "niggas hide, the be bossin the lyrical trigger, leave mother fuckers" not perfect, but its really close --
"When Im Up In The zone
I Get To Representing The City in Decay
Hollow Your Brain Cuz Im A Disaster
Dalima Get Ridiculous if im Comin Atcha
Leave Em In A Predicament
Cause Im A Style Master
And Im Not Impressionable Now
Just So Ya Kno
I Make Em Sweat
Cause I'm Best With The Flow
Whenever You Wanna Flex We Can Go
Keep Stressing Your Code
And I Gonna Leave Ya Back On The Flo'
Midwest We Done Flow Like
(She Flows With The Most Strife)
Cuz The Energy Is The Bomb
I Can Tell That You Fascinated By The Way That We Rhyme
And We Blow Like
With The Flow Strike With The Fire
(Baby Aint Nothin You Can Say Though)
Cuz Im Sippin On Henny
And Bustin Like The Semi Go Enemys Now
Irritated With The Haters That Be Comin Around So I Kick It
Like A Relative of the Area Style
Meaning That Im Really Sure So
Im Too Sick For A Cure So
Aint No Need For A Doctor My Verbal word play
Be Making Yo Nerves Shake
Cuz I Caught Ya
Pants Down When I Popped Ya Now
Lets Take A Trip To The Valley Of Real Deals
Strange Individual Wit The Mentally Ill Skill
Pop A Collar And Holler At The Broads with Real Skrill
Get Down For The Cost We Be Flossin Big Wheels
(What Up Wit It)
Don't Be Acting Like You get tough Wit It
When the chopper come out the trunk
Spittin Off In The Strange Yield
Killers Gon be devoted to leavin Yo Bodies
Smokin But Really
You Can't Get off With It
(Man This Game Is Rough)
Cause Whenever Im Bustin Its Like
A Full Heart Stopper
Dalima Tecca Nina Kaliko and D-Loc
Rip Another With The Flow Cause We
Midwest Choppaz"
Hope it helps.
Dumb Fucks | Reviewer: J Rip | 1/27/08
This "sketchy" dude is a fuckin retard, half his lyrics are wrong. The ones posted as of now are almost perfect to all you hatin ass niggas that couldnt figure it out your damn selves. I sent in a few correstions of my own..."When I say pop it off I mean wit the tounge or the gun"...think Mista Tounge Twista dumb asses. "Hit The Mic And Get In Again
Medicine"... what the fuck is that supposed to mean, it's "And then we peddlin medicine" Obviously none of you douchebags are up on strret terms, peddlin medicine is slangin dope you fuckin sub-burb bitches. Apparently none of you have ever listened to another Tech song, he nevers puts in random shit that makes no sense just to rhyme; everything he says serves a purpose. "So Ima Keep Reppin The Mirror"...what the fuck is "the mirror"...hes reppin the Midwest, again, if you'd listed to Tech before you'd kno where he's from dipshit; for those of you who dont, the Midwest is that area of the country between east coast, west coast, and south...made up of Michigan (Detroit- Eminem), Illinois (Chicago- Twista, Kanye West), Ohio(Cleveland-Bone Thugs), Missouri(aka Mizery; Kansas City aka KC MO- TECH N9NE, DALIMA, D-LOC, KALIKO) Midwest is known for fast ma fuckas. Moral of the story is, dont talk shit if you dont know your shit. Peace -J Rip
Suggestions | Reviewer: Mr. Axel grave | 11/1/07
Your the closest i've seen man but you don't have anything for the part where it seems that D-loc is speaking backwords. ere is my suggestion
what i'm thinkin is that either your a baby and is a iracle(miracle) and anger tra(try) evilar (eviler) I'ma top slaughts (slaughter)
I know it isn'tperfect but it's what i could get
its_me | Reviewer: me | 10/21/07
dude dont listen to these other muh fuckas.
they dont know what theyre talking about
youre shit is the closest to the song than anyone else on the net.
there are places that could be a couple different things so who really cares
keep it up. nice job with this shit
Correction | Reviewer: UNBREAKABLE | 9/29/07
Beginning of Verse 4.
1st suggestion is:
When Im Up In The Salt Lake
I Get To Representing The City In The Cane
2nd suggestion is:
When Im Up In The Salt Room
Im Representing The City In The Cane
I think it is:
When I'm up in the zone
I get to representing the city of da K
wtf | Reviewer: mastah A_rab | 9/7/07
the current lyrics posted at the very top are accurate. i just listened to the song while reading the lyrics and they are correct. sketch is an idiot he is all wrong in his version, not to mention in his version he is actually missing beats which ruins the flow in techs verse. man if you change the words make sure that you beat match it so it flows correctly.

The parents of an engineering student who died last summer after visiting the University of Texas at Arlington Health Services for a knee injury are seeking $16 million from the university in a wrongful-death suit.Young Ok Choi and Oh Soon Choi filed the lawsuit in Tarrant County civil court last week on behalf of their son Min Gu Choi, who died at North Hills Hospital on July 10, several days after he went to the health clinic because he injured his right knee while participating in a sporting activity.The suit alleges that Choi, who was 21, died of a pulmonary embolism or a blood clot that went untreated after the knee injury. The suit did not give details about the sporting activity or how Choi's knee was injured."Prior to his visit to the University of Texas at Arlington Health Services, Min Gu Choi did not have any prior medical issues with his right knee," the lawsuit states.UT Arlington officials declined to comment, referring inquiries to the university's general counsel in Austin. The university's general counsel does not comment on pending litigation.The Chois and their attorney, Patrick Lee could not be reached for comment.On July 2, Min Gu Choi went to the health services center because he injured his right knee while playing sports on June 30.According to the lawsuit, his vital signs were abnormal, and his knee was painful and swollen, and Choi couldn't put any weight on his right knee. He was sent home and told to rest.On July 9, Choi went back to the health center for a follow-up visit, and his vital signs were still abnormal. Yet, he was released.That evening, Choi was taken to the North Hills Hospital emergency room, where he died July 10The suit also alleges that three employees -- including a physician and a nurse -- were negligent and that they failed to recognize problems, such as the abnormal vital signs.According to court documents, Min Gu Choi's medical expenses were $85,133.89, and his funeral expenses were $11,800.The suit also stated that Min Gu Choi's income as an engineer was expected to be $4 million during his lifetime.Each parent is seeking $8 million in damages from the university.Elizabeth Campbell, 817-390-7696Twitter: @fwstliz

St. Paul Teachers' Retirement Fund Association will be closed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 26-28, for the Thanksgiving holiday. The office will reopen Monday, Dec. 1.
Important Reminder: Break in Service Required for Retirement Benefits
In response to a number of questions we've received recently, we thought we'd highlight the "Break in Service" rule.
In order to have a right to receive your retirement benefit from SPTRFA, Minnesota law requires a "complete and continuous separation for 90 days from employment in any form with Independent School District No. 625." Importantly, "employment" for this purpose includes "service provided to the school district as an independent contractor or as an employee of an independent contractor."
Under this rule, for example, employment with Teachers on Call for service as a substitute teacher in District 625 within 90 days of your final date of employment with District 625 would result in a failure of the Break in Service rule.
Please be advised that Minnesota law requires the SPTRFA to recover, with interest, amounts received by a member who fails to satisfy the Break in Service rule.
Substitute Teacher Status Changing to Independent Contractor And the Impact on SPTRFA Members
St. Paul Public Schools recently announced that it has contracted with Teachers on Call to provide all substitute staffing. As a result, substitute teachers will no longer be employees of the District, but rather employees of Teachers on Call, an independent contractor.
Given that this is a recent change, we wanted to provide a brief summary of how this relates to your benefits and status with the St. Paul Teachers' Retirement Fund Association (SPTRFA). Please click to review the PDF document to learn more about this change.
The SPTRFA staff welcomes any pension-related questions and is here to help you.

Legislation opens door for Duluth Teachers to join Minnesota Teachers pension fund
In the News! By Rick Baert, Pensions&Investments| May 27, 2014
The $210 million Duluth Teachers' Retirement Fund Association (DTRFA) could be merged into the $18 billion Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association (TRA), as a result of legislation signed last week by Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton

Gov. Dayton signs 2014 pension bill
May 21 UPDATE: 2014 Omnibus Retirement Bill, H.F. 1951 (Murphy, M.)
Gov. Mark Dayton on Wednesday, May 21, signed into law the Omnibus Retirement Bill (H.F. 1951) providing the St. Paul Teachers' Retirement Fund Association State funding assistance of $7 Million annually beginning Oct. 1, 2015.
This aid will help address unfunded liabilities brought on by funding shortfalls from the State in years past. The bill also sets a fixed amortization date of 2042 for SPTRFA to achieve full funding, and clarifies membership eligibility requirements for future annual post-retirement benefits. The bill leaves SPTRFA as a separate Plan rather than merging it into the statewide Teachers Retirement Association (TRA), while authorizing the merger of the Duluth Teachers' Retirement Fund Association(DTRFA) into TRA. Consolidation of DTRFA and TRA will move forward after the expected approval of the TRA and Duluth boards and the DTRFA membership. Read more here.

Dim Sum and Ethiopian Food in DC
- a
- adventuresinbaking Apr 27, 2007 08:12 AM
I am going to be in DC for a few days and I was hoping someone could recommend a good place for Dim Sum and Ethiopian Food.
This is a popular topic. Just do a search. The most popular place for Ethiopian on this board is Etete. And there are many dimsum places.
The best places for dim sum are in the suburbs, not in DC proper. However, for Ethiopian food, there are many choices. It all depends on your comfort level for authenticity and "homeyness". One of the most often recommended places in Etete on 9th Street. Others will say that Dukem or Queen Makeda are the best. If you are more into the Ethiopian food with a toned down experience (ambiance, not the food) try Meskereem in Adams Morgan, they have been around forever.
I would second Etete and Dukem for ethiopian. For dim sum, I would recommend oriental east in silver spring and A&J in Rockville.
re: Steve
"All the places in the suburbs seem to have their own supporters/detractors."
Good way to put it. I agree w/ China Garden on the Virginia side since it's so close to DC and it's a nice place. As the dimsum goes, as with most dimsum, if you go when it's busy, it's good. When it's slow, you get the warmed-over leftovers. But, it's clean, good parking on weekends, and good variety, at least the times I've been.
I've been to Etete a few times and it is excellent, everything chowfolk say it is. But I have to put in a plug for my neighborhood place in Silver Spring, MD, Addis Ababa. Food is great, servings more generous than Etete, lot's of veg options. Plus, they have a rooftop garden that;s great this time of year. It's at 8233 Fenton St, Silver Spring, 20910 - (301) 589-1400
Dim Sum- Hollywood East -- very consistent. I've been about 7 times and all but one were near perfect. About the same number of times for China Garden in Rosslyn. Almost as good on their best day but do not go late in the service. Last time dumplings were drying out and servings were beceoming quite slow.
Ethiopian- I have to second Addis Abbaba and Dukem. Haven't been to Etete, but soon!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
Tie-in edition to the major U.S. Columbia Pictures/Sony production starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, directed by David Fincher. The first volume in Stieg Larsson's phenomenal Millennium Trilogy, with combined sales of over 55 million worldwide. Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

The new kidAfter being dropped off by Falker I made my way to my class room lead by the principle. I was in Mahaffey Middle School. This is going to suck, I thought as I followed him in the class. I had gotten in late so it was block one; apparently I missed primetime, whatever that was. The principle introduced me to the teacher, and then I was forced to introduce myself to the class. "Hi my name's Wolf." I said, several people started to giggle. "Wolf is here because he is with the United Nations."
Have you ever been a new kid? If you have then I feel your pain I've moved around seven times. I'd love to hear someones account of moving to a new place; although i doubt you had rogue soldier descending on you from you school roof. :)
"Betrayal?" I asked Rain who had entered the room with Sunset and Autumn. "Most likely." He replied. The two of us started searching the bodies. "They bare the U.N. patch, but look far from being U.N. material." Sunset said. We looked at her puzzled. She sighed then knelt down by one of the bodies. "The U.N. agents had all looked like a bunch of pretty boys, take a bath every five minutes, kid of guys. These guys have dirt in their fingernails." She drew back as she waved the air in front of her nose, "and horrible odor." She finished. "Rogue's?" Autumn asked. "Possibly." Sunset replied. "Oh! Also, that patch underneath the U.N. one is new to me." Sunset inquired. "A passenger airliner getting shot out of the air randomly, U.N. soldiers attacking a middle school which happens to be located on a military base, none of this makes any sense." I said. "We've got to get out of here." Rain said. "Roger." I replied as we left the still shocked class and exited the school.

How to Hang a Rug on a Wall
Many other techniques involve sewing fabric loops to the back of the rug and weaving a pole through which hangs on mounted hooks or to stitch Velcro to the back of the rug which is stuck to the other Velcro side that is glued to a mounted board. While these methods may work, this involves a bit more work than necessary and also making a semi-permanent or irreversible change which may be detrimental to your rug. This method involves using one or more tack-strips which can be found at most major hardware stores for only a few dollars for several feet. Tack strips are more commonly used during carpet installation but this is another very clever way to use them.
1Decide if you want the rug to hang freely (this uses one tack strip across the top and creates a slight billowing effect) or to be completely secured to the wall from each side (this uses a tack strip along each edge of the rug and there is no billowing effect). If you want it to hang freely, measure how wide the top of the rug is that you want to hang. If you want to secure it from all sides, measure the top, bottom, and both sides as well. Obtain this measured length in tack strips.Ad
2Coat the tack strip(s) in a clear finish or with paint and let dry. This insures that no acid from the wooden tack strips can damage the back of the rug once it is hanging.
3Using a level to make sure the tack strip is straight, hold the strip where the top of the rug will hang and hammer in the nails along the tack strip. If hanging a heavy rug, these nails should line up with studs behind the wall which can be found using a "stud finder"). If you are securing it from each side, repeat this process for the remaining tack strips, making sure to measure where each one should go.
4Lift the rug up to the top tack strip and press it firmly against the strip (with help from someone else if it is heavy). Use two or three upholstery nails to secure each corner of the rug (and possibly the middle if desired) by nailing them through the rug and into the mounted tack strip. The upholstery nails are both functional and decorative as they secure the rug to the tack strip and tend to look very fancy depending on the upholstery nails that are chosen. If securing each edge, repeat for the three other edges by doing the sides first and doing the bottom last.Ad
We could really use your help!
Nook tablet?
estate planning?
home improvement?
- The upholstery nails should be nailed in at a slight downward angle to give them maximum holding strength. This matters especially if hanging a heavy rug.
- Be careful when handling the tack strips. The tacks only stick out about a half inch or less but they are very sharp!
Things You'll Need
- One or more tack strips
- Clear finish or paint
- Hammer
- Upholstery nails in a similar color to the rug
- Level
- Possibly someone to help lift the rug (depending on how heavy it is)

Is My Low-Self Esteem the Problem?
Find a Conversation
Is My Low-Self Esteem the Problem?
|Tue, 07-28-2009 - 7:05pm
I discovered recently that my husband was a member of an adult forum. He has been viewing porn posted by other members, posting his own porn and making comments about the women. I am really distressed about it. I have really low self-esteem, so I am wondering if this is why I am so bothered by it. Do you think my self-esteem is the problem or is it wrong that my husband is doing this? If it is my self-esteem, how do I fix it? Are there any books that will help?
|Thu, 07-30-2009 - 2:38am
Partly, it is from your self-esteem and the other half is from your husband's behavior. Men are visual creatures. That's why we used to see them ogling to sexy ladies and they love porn. They just love doing it. On to man's mind, they might see a woman that they admire but it doesn't mean that they love them. They can separate attraction and admiration from love. Like from a fling to a wife. If you are threatened by the idea that your husband like or is attracted to some women he sees in the adult group he is joining, then you have low self-esteem. You can read the e-book of Amy Twain which is the "Fabulous Self-Esteem" which is very uplifting. Actually I already have that one and it's really great. A fantastic self-help e-book. I have read so many self-improvement books but this one is kinda exceptional. You can download it in www.fabulousselfesteem.com or you can go to www.innerzine.com to look for the e-book. ;-)

The St. Louis County Library and Shoeman Water Projects, a local non-profit that helps provide clean water to developing countries, are teaming up on a new partnership. Starting January 21 through February 20, all 20 St. Louis County Library branches will be accepting gently used shoes. The collected shoes will be exported to places like Kenya, Haiti and South America. Funds from the resale will help Shoeman Water Projects purchase well-drilling rigs and water purification systems.
When you visit any SLCL location, bring a pair or more of gently used shoes. Shoes should be in good condition, tied, rubber-banded, or bagged together.
Shoeman Water Projects has collected over 3 million shoes since 2008. This equates to four well-drilling rigs, more than 250 wells drilled serving more than 200,000 people, as well as the installation of water purification systems and repairs to well pumps that serve clinics, schools and villages across the globe.
To learn more about Shoeman Water Projects visit at www.shoemanwater.org. Call 314-994-3300 to find out more about the shoe drive at St. Louis County Library.

Design Considerations for a Compact, Low Cost Correlation/Phase Indicator
Introduced over 30 years ago, X/Y oscilloscopes for monitoring stereo / mono compatibility are now considered standard equipment. The bulk, weight and cost of oscilloscopes, as well as the interpretive skills they demand of the user, have all too frequently pushed engineers into doing without this valuable tool rather than accommodating it. This paper will present design considerations for a compact, easily interpreted LED bar-graph meter which would replace traditional X/Y displays in a variety of audio production, maintenance, and transmission applications. It will uncover common misnomers in terminology pertaining to stereo measurements, and explore the concept of correlation.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
All things considered, Catalina Foothills is a pretty good school. Sports/extracurriculars are pretty good such as the Speech and Debate team, Science Olympiad, etc. Academics are average, however. Some departments are better than others and of course, quality of teachers vary. The math department is ok, with the Calculus BC teacher being outstanding (99.9999% of students that took the AP test have scored a 4 or higher, only one student has ever gotten a 3). Although the administration isn't the best, overall, CFHS is a pretty good school considering it is public and has no entrance requirements.
This school has gotten progressively worse since my freshman year. The security has increased by tenfold this year even though it's completely unnecessary. A fence now surrounds the school. Former students and parents are no longer allowed to visit teachers. It is a completely closed off campus. Security is constantly patrolling and monitoring students. Everyone must have their ID with them at all times in order to enter campus. If you forget it, you have to pay $5 to get a new one for the day (no exceptions). The school uses an absurd rubric to grade homework that is complicated and confusing (4.0-A+, 3.0-B, 2.5-C etc) instead of the standard, straightforward letter grades. Most people go to an in-state school (a number of them get scholarships). Only a handful go to private colleges (a few even go to top-tier schools). The only reason that more students from this school go onto prestigious schools is because the people who live in this district are wealthy. The teachers are okay and the academics are not especially exemplary. The administration is power-hungry and it's gotten so strict under the current principal. Thankfully, I'm a senior and will be graduating this year.
This latest poster is so uninformed. Most of the students from CFHS do not go to in state schools. There is a high % of the class of 2014 going out of state to some of the most outstanding universities in the country including ivy leagues.
Catalina Foothills is a school that claims outstanding academics but bury themselves with appearance and money. Foothills is more focused on dealing with security forces than improving academic programs. The education you get is pretty average it is just in an upscale community. Extra curricular activities and specific departments such as math are weak but the district does not care to recognize that. Everyone seems to enjoy lying to themselves and blaming the state for lack of funding. They would rather hire more security staff with a student body that is 70 percent White....Catalina Foothills gets more credit than it deserves because of the lack of education standards in the state of Arizona. Go outside of Arizona, and this school is quite average. That is why 70% of kids end up at a state college because it is essentially a free ride. Arizona state colleges are required to admit just about anyone and everyone a resident of Arizona. I see these problems transferring from a stronger school system out of state. This is the best public high school in Tucson because you don't have a lot of choices. Do not expect amazing support here. This school is descending quite quickly.
We just spent the last ten years at CFHS as our three children went through the school. The teachers were top notch and the curriculum challenging and relevant. The depth and the breadth of classes, programs, and activities are unrivaled in Tucson. The entire staff and administration care about the students, and parents are very involved in supporting the school. Students are engaged in learning as well as the numerous extra-curricular activities and events. The campus and the views of the surrounding area are beautiful.
The school has excellent students and teachers, particularly in Math and English. The quality of Science teachers have declined markedly- the best ones have moved on. Some of the best teachers have been reallocated against their wishes- from subjects they taught extremely well to assignments they are unhappy about these remaining quality teachers will inevitably leave and add to this continuing decline. The Board needs to step in.
The school has excellent students and teachers in Math and English. The quality of Science teachers has declined markedly- the best ones have moved on- as shown by declining test scores. The academic focus over the last year or two in particular has markedly diminished, with the departure of quality teachers. Some of the remaining excellent teachers have been reallocated apparently against their wishes- from subjects they taught extremely well to assignments they are unsuited to and are clearly unhappy about these remaining few first-rate teachers will inevitably leave and add to this continuing slide. Standards are clearly slipping and there appears to be a lack of leadership- the Board needs to step in and fix the rot. My son has just graduated this year and I will watch for positive developments in the immediate future, but am not optimistic- we may be forced to send our younger child to a different school in the future. The District Board needs to step in.
Changing demographic of student population due to increase in open enrollment has made this school feel less safe and friendly--fights, kids with piercings, crowded classrooms. Lots of teacher turnover in Math and Science. Some excellent teachers and beautiful campus. This school seems to be trending downward and will probably soon become average. Too bad--was once a great school and a nice community.
Most beautiful campus in Tucson, as well as a challenging and diverse education. Without saying, Foothills has the most beautiful campus in Tucson. The curriculum here is without doubt the best in Tucson as far as public education goes. You also have a wide variety of choices when it comes to picking classes (6 english courses are available per grade). The teachers are very engaging in class and are always willing to assist with anything from academics to personal issues. The administration is also very experienced and credible, and keep the school together. The only negative about the school is that most students do unfortunately act the typical Foothills stereotype. Most people are white and rich, but they are mostly friendly and very nice. Foothills also has the most expansive, credible, and highest achieving fine arts program when compared to any other high school in town. The band is the largest in Arizona, and has traveled the world; traveling to Disneyland, the Beijing Olympics, Australia, Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Prescott, and more. The theatre program is very well known in Tucson as well.
Not the best, not the worst. This school is constantly crying poverty while its administrators spend loads on "educational trips"
This is obviously a good nice school. The facilities are and building are great, the kids are smart, the teachers seem very engaging. On the downside, language programs have been cut. For example, you can take Chinese but not French for entering freshmen. But Chinese is too difficult for most students to do well in. The sports program (for girls at least) seem to be in need of cash all the time. Finally, there is of course the appeal to snobbery. One of the "selling" points of the school is that the students generally come from privileged homes... so they have better material to work with ... something a teacher told me. This implies that we live in a pure meritocracy and that people who are poor are so because they lake certain mental gifts. I think that attitude is prevalent but misguided at CFHS. Try to get beyond the snobbery and send your child here anyway... it will be a good experience.
Academically, CFHS is an excellent school. I have taken both standard and honors level classes, and in every subject except for Math, I have had amazing teachers who have provided me a plethora of information and useful skills. Unfortunately due to budget cuts and retiring teachers, the extracurriculars has taken the worst blow. If your student is art driven, do not enroll them at CFHS. AP Art has been cut, Ceramics is always packed, and CFHS fails to offer orchestra. However we do have one of the best band programs in the nation. In terms of other extracurriculars, there are few PE classes offered. If you have a child who struggles in such courses, do not enroll them at CFHS. Socially, I find CFHS to be much like a small community. It is true, most of us students have known each other since kindergarten, and it's sometimes difficult to merge into such a place. However, there is a spot for everyone and anyone, and most people are open and friendly. In terms of drugs, yes, there is a problem especially with weed and prescription drug abuse. However, the only way for someone to stay out of trouble is simply to practice self control. Drugs are a problem everywhere, not just at CFHS.
Catalina Foothills High School is a great school for all students. There are courses offered to challenge every student. There are AP classes, Honors classes and Standard classes. Each student can choose how much they want to challenge themselves. This school is non-selective, yet competes with schools that choose their students by their academic ability. This school and the district are top notch.
This place is good. No drugs, everyone helps. Good classes, nice principle, nice parents. I think it is a great place to students.
This was once a great school, unfortunately the changes made by the principal who took over in 2007/08 school year, it has progressively gone downhill. The ego of the community, due to a higher income level, believe it is still a good school. The good teachers have all left. My older child graduated in 2006 when the school deserved its high rating, my youngest child who will graduate this year-2011, left for another district high school and is receiving an excellent senior year! We are grateful to be out of this ego inflated district.
In a recent post, a person claimed that CFHS has a drug problem. As a senior of this school, i will say that this is absolutly not the case. Like any area, drugs are available to those who seek them out. Due to my upbringing and the attitudes of my freinds, i have never been in a situation where drugs are present. I have had several parents and new students ask me about my experiences at this school, i tell them all the same thing, who you hang out with and what you do will determine how good your high school career is. On a seperate note, the class sizes are getting larger due to some teacher layoffs (budget cuts), but the numbers remain average and the teachers are generally very good at what they do. The school district also has excellent special needs services (7th grade younger sister).
School is overcrowded - this means classes are not always available [my daughter had to repeat a class she got an 'a' in because nothing else was avail] and they are large - with 30 in a class not unusual. The administration is stressed as well as the teachers. The overcrowding has diluted a once great school. Don't rely on this schools' past reputation. Things have changed.
i have mixed feelings about CFHS. On one hand, they truly do have a good academic system and the band program is amazing. However, drugs(mainly marijuana) are everywhere. But a lot of high schools have that. Still. Also, everybody, and i mean 90 percent of the population, have grown up together since they were in elementary school. Very clique-y so its hard. Overall though, academically its good. Just the students need to be more accepting
This schoool does not have an orchestra or support for students of string instruments.
As a student here I can say that this school is amazing. Its open aired campus and high-quality teachers makes it feel more like a college than a campus.
