East Texas Towns as High School Stereotypes

(KNUE-FM) High school is a different experience for all of us here in East Texas. And while we had different experiences, so many of the same things happened to us no matter which school we attended.

Why High School Stereotypes Still Resonate

Just like in all the movies and television shows, there are high school stereotypes, for example, the star athlete, the cool upperclassman, or the student council president. While these people might look or act different at each school, they are stereotypes that we all know.

What is also fascinating is you can find the same type of stereotypes when you talk to people who have spent most of their life in East Texas. There are certain things you start to think about areas based on previous experiences. Some of them can be true; others are funnier than anything else, but they are all relatable.
