'''Wheaton Warrenville South High School''', or '''WWSHS''', and locally referred to as "South", is a public four-year [[high school]] located at the corner of [[Illinois State Route 56|Butterfield Road]] and Wiesbrook Road in the southwest corner of affluent [[Wheaton, Illinois]], a western suburb of [[Chicago, Illinois]], in the [[United States]]. It is part of [[Community Unit School District 200]], which also includes [[Wheaton North High School]].
'''Time/Date:'''
*6:20 AM: Patrick looks at his watch
*9:00 AM: Class starts


==History==
'''Time cards shown:''' None
The building was originally completed in 1973 as ''Wheaton-Warrenville High school'', to serve the growing populations in [[Warrenville]] and southern Wheaton. Ten years after its completion, the building was converted into ''Wheaton-Warrenville Middle School'' after contentious litigation whereby a collection of parents associated with Wheaton Warrenville south attempted to secede from District 200. Among other issues, parents attempting to secede were concerned about proposed district boundaries where students on the south side of town would be asked to drive past Wheaton Central on their way to attend Wheaton North. The litigation failed. In 1992, Wheaton Central High School campus closed and the building re-opened itself as a high school, establishing ''Wheaton Warrenville South High School''.<ref>[http://www.wwshs.org/school%20history/school.htm Wheaton Warrenville South High School History]</ref> However, district 200 elected to retain the Tiger mascot in lieu of the green and gold Wolverine that Wheaton Warrenville High School had used.


The building is comprised of five major pods: ''Grange'', completed in 2005, and ''Tradition'', ''Scholarship'', ''Commitment'', and ''Integrity'', which are taken from the school seal.
'''Characters Present:'''

*[[Patrick Star]]
*[[Mrs. Puff]]
*Pupils
*Children in photograph

*[[Gary the Snail]]


In [[1999]], the Integrity wing was built in the southeast corner of the school to house the math department. It includes eleven new classrooms, a math lab, and a math office.
'''Songs:''' None


In [[2002]], The Tradition and Commitment pods, primarily housing the English and Science departments, respectively, underwent significant renovations with reconstruction of all second floor classrooms. More than $100,000 worth of technology was also upgraded in 2002, with all classrooms receiving at least one new [[Dell]] [[Windows XP|XP]] computer connecting to a new [[broadband internet access]] connection, [[Cable television|Cable]] [[Television|TV]], accompanying [[DVD]]/[[VCR]] combo player. The computer labs were also updated and several carts of [[Wireless LAN|wireless internet]] [[laptops]] were added.
==Plot==
At SpongeBob's pineapple, Patrick is eagerly asking him if he can go jellyfishing. SpongeBob says he has to go to boating school, and also asks what Patrick usually does when he's gone. Patrick replies with a sad answer: "Waiting for you to get back from school!" SpongeBob then thinks of a really bad/stupid/horrible/terrible idea. Patrick can go with him!


Wheaton Warrenville South installed [[solar panels]] on the roof of the school as an [[Renewable energy|alternative energy]] source as part of a [[2004]] partnership with [[British Petroleum]].<ref>[http://www.cusd200.org/board_of_education/minutes/10-13-04.pdf Wheaton Warrenville South and BP Solar Energy Partnership]</ref> BP's North American Chemical headquarters is located approximately two miles south of the school in [[Naperville, Illinois|Naperville]]. The remaining energy comes from [[Commonwealth Edison]], which primarily produces energy from [[nuclear power|nuclear]] and [[Fossil fuel power plant|fossil fuel]] sources.
They arrive at 6:20 AM, and although class starts at 9:00 AM, SpongeBob considers it late because it's 'Late for being early!' He shows him around the school, and tells him about their classroom's reward system. It's quite simple, with a golden star attached to a chart next to the person's name who earned the golden star. He also shows him Roger, an unborn animal in a case with only a light-bulb for warmth. The thin shell of the egg represents the barrier between life and death when in a boat. The light-bulb represents knowledge, and without it, death occurs. (After Spongebob's meaningful speech, Patrick flicks the light on and off, chanting "life, death, life, death!"


On [[April 1]], [[2003]], residents of Community Unit School District 200 approved, by a vote of 10,173 to 6,518,<ref>[http://www.cusd200.org/expansion/index.htm High School Expansion]</ref> a $72 million bond referendum to add about 150,000 square feet of space and renovate both Wheaton Warrenville South, and its counterpart, [[Wheaton North High School|Wheaton North]].
When class starts, Patrick gets SpongeBob into lots of trouble, which results in one of SpongeBob's golden stars taken off. SpongeBob faints, and Patrick responds by saying "Mrs. Puff, is it nap-time?" Later, SpongeBob and Patrick have to go to detention because they were fighting (not really) during recess. They say how much they hate each other, and SpongeBob says "I'd hate you even if the light-bulb keeping Roger alive went out!" Coincidentally, the light-bulb keeping Roger alive went out. SpongeBob keeps the egg warm, while Patrick gets a new light-bulb. Patrick reaches the closet and finds a mountain of light-bulbs, but he thinks that the one at the top that is operating is the only one that works (Probably because of his low intelligence). SpongeBob is impatient and starts running towards the closet with Roger in his hands, and bumps into Patrick. They both save Roger's life, and they both get a golden star. Patrick later leaves when he finally realizes he's in boating school and he thought he was in Spanish class. At the end, Roger hatches into a chick and says "Hey! What did I miss?"


The first phase of construction began in [[August 2003]] and was completed in [[March 2005]] and included 21 new classrooms with two resource centers to house the English and Foreign Language departments, two art rooms, a band room, an orchestra room, a choral room, and nine [[Soundproofing|sound-proof]] practice rooms. In addition, the central office area was reconverted for the counseling center and the health office, while all other administrative offices were moved to the front of the building. A new commons area was constructed and the [[cafeteria]] underwent significant renovations.
==Quotes==
* '''Patrick:''' Who cares about a stupid star?
: '''SpongeBob:''' Gee, Patrick! It seems that you would care a lot about stupid stars, considering that you are one!
* '''SpongeBob:''' ...and the light bulb represents knowledge, without which Roger would die.
:'''Patrick:''' ''(repeatedly turning on/off the lamp)'' Life, death, life, death, life, death...!
*'''SpongeBob:''' ''(after being given a drawing that Patrick drew of Mrs. Puff, beside which is written "Big Fat Meanie")'' Big fat meanie?! Patrick, you can't do that! She's the teacher!
:'''Mrs. Puff:''' What about the teacher? ''(grabs the drawing from SpongeBob and gasps)'' As if I really look like this! ''(it is shown that she, at that moment, DOES look just like the drawing)''
* '''Patrick:''' Boating School? I thought this was Spanish class! ''(turning to leave)'' Bye, SpongeBob. Bye, big fat meanie.
*'''Patrick'''(whispering) Spongebob.....
:(Spongebob ignores him.)
:'''Patrick'''(still whispering) Spongebob.....
:(Spongebob continues ignoring Patrick)
:'''Patrick'''('''still''' whispering) Spongebob, I have something important to tell you....
:(Spongebob, who is getting fed up, hisses) '''WHAT'''?
:'''Patrick''' Hi.
:'''Spongebob''' HI (Through spitballs by yelling)


The second phase began in spring 2005 and was completed by [[May 2006]] and consisted primarily of renovations to the athletics wing and the construction of the field house. The [[library]] will undergo significant renovations in the summer of [[2006]].
==Trivia/Goofs==

*The names on the Bikini Bottom Board keep changing. Sometimes it's like this: SpongeBob, Lloyd, Sheila, Paco, Debbie, Horace and Patrick. Other times there is a Rich between Horace and Patrick.
On [[June 7]], [[2005]], Herman Calloway, Sr, a construction worker for Hamilton Construction (contracted by [[Lend Lease Corporation|Bovis Lend Lease]]), was killed while working on the construction of the field house, when the fifteen-foot deep trench he was in caved-in, causing traumatic head, neck and chest injuries. His son, Herman Calloway, Jr. was also injured in the collapse.<ref>[http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=News&id=3136751 Man killed in trench collapse]</ref>
*SpongeBob says "You '''cost''' me one of my good noodle stars!", but the captions say, "You '''caused''' me one of my good noodle stars!"

*When Patrick arrives at the boating school, he says, "'''And''' no line.", but the captions say, "'''I have''' no line."
==Academics==
*Patrick yells, "I'm '''learning!'''", but the captions say, "I'm '''waiting!'''.

Wheaton Warrenville South High School, or WWSHS, and locally referred to as "South", is a public four-year high school located at the corner of Butterfield Road and Wiesbrook Road in the southwest corner of affluent Wheaton, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Community Unit School District 200, which also includes Wheaton North High School.

History

The building was originally completed in 1973 as Wheaton-Warrenville High school, to serve the growing populations in Warrenville and southern Wheaton. Ten years after its completion, the building was converted into Wheaton-Warrenville Middle School after contentious litigation whereby a collection of parents associated with Wheaton Warrenville south attempted to secede from District 200. Among other issues, parents attempting to secede were concerned about proposed district boundaries where students on the south side of town would be asked to drive past Wheaton Central on their way to attend Wheaton North. The litigation failed. In 1992, Wheaton Central High School campus closed and the building re-opened itself as a high school, establishing Wheaton Warrenville South High School.[1] However, district 200 elected to retain the Tiger mascot in lieu of the green and gold Wolverine that Wheaton Warrenville High School had used.

The building is comprised of five major pods: Grange, completed in 2005, and Tradition, Scholarship, Commitment, and Integrity, which are taken from the school seal.

In 1999, the Integrity wing was built in the southeast corner of the school to house the math department. It includes eleven new classrooms, a math lab, and a math office.

In 2002, The Tradition and Commitment pods, primarily housing the English and Science departments, respectively, underwent significant renovations with reconstruction of all second floor classrooms. More than $100,000 worth of technology was also upgraded in 2002, with all classrooms receiving at least one new Dell XP computer connecting to a new broadband internet access connection, Cable TV, accompanying DVD/VCR combo player. The computer labs were also updated and several carts of wireless internet laptops were added.

Wheaton Warrenville South installed solar panels on the roof of the school as an alternative energy source as part of a 2004 partnership with British Petroleum.[2] BP's North American Chemical headquarters is located approximately two miles south of the school in Naperville. The remaining energy comes from Commonwealth Edison, which primarily produces energy from nuclear and fossil fuel sources.

On April 1, 2003, residents of Community Unit School District 200 approved, by a vote of 10,173 to 6,518,[3] a $72 million bond referendum to add about 150,000 square feet of space and renovate both Wheaton Warrenville South, and its counterpart, Wheaton North.

The first phase of construction began in August 2003 and was completed in March 2005 and included 21 new classrooms with two resource centers to house the English and Foreign Language departments, two art rooms, a band room, an orchestra room, a choral room, and nine sound-proof practice rooms. In addition, the central office area was reconverted for the counseling center and the health office, while all other administrative offices were moved to the front of the building. A new commons area was constructed and the cafeteria underwent significant renovations.

The second phase began in spring 2005 and was completed by May 2006 and consisted primarily of renovations to the athletics wing and the construction of the field house. The library will undergo significant renovations in the summer of 2006.

On June 7, 2005, Herman Calloway, Sr, a construction worker for Hamilton Construction (contracted by Bovis Lend Lease), was killed while working on the construction of the field house, when the fifteen-foot deep trench he was in caved-in, causing traumatic head, neck and chest injuries. His son, Herman Calloway, Jr. was also injured in the collapse.[4]

Academics

In 2005, Wheaton Warrenville South had an average composite ACT score of 23.1, while two seniors earned a perfect ACT score of 36.[5] In addition to this, ten students were named National Merit Scholar Semifinalists.[6] In 2005, Wheaton Warrenville South graduated 99.2% of its senior class.[citation needed] For the past three years, Wheaton Warrenville South has not made Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievements Examination, a state test part of the No Child Left Behind Act.[7]

The staff is comprised of 135 teachers with an average teacher to student ratio of 1:18, and an average class size of 24.4.

Dr. Snyder is the current principal.

The school day officially begins at 7:20 AM and finishes at 2:15 PM. There are seven class periods of approximately fifty minutes in length, and a 25 minute lunch break. Each passing period is six minutes.

Students are required to successfully complete twenty-four credits, each course at .5 credit.
