Well I disagree with the way it's worded, but it's been a plague on the school since day one. People still claim it is a school tradition when it's not...community tradition would be more accurate. The school caught a lot of flack for a long time for something it actually had nothing to do with. I can't remember how many years grads had been going to Jamaica but I think the class above us was the first to go to Aruba.
(MBHS will not even let "class" trips to foreign countries by Spanish and French classes arrange the trips through them...no idea if that's par for the course for public school systems but I know they've always been particularly careful of distancing themselves from any trips legally. Except athletic events I guess?)
