I thought you lived in Jefferson City.

It's not very big.  I'm also somewhat well known.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Actually my family if fairly well known in town.  Except my dad, he once on the front page of the local newspaper.  The caption underneath said "Unknown man sleeping in city hall".

There is only one public highschool in Jefferson City.

Really? Pensacola(50k vs Jefferson City's 40k) has like 6.

Allen, TX has 85k and insists on only having one high school.  It's starting to become a hot button issue there.

If they have more than one High School it seriously damages their chances of winning the 6A Football State Championship  :(

Exactly.  We continue to have one high school because of the football team (which isn't even very good anymore).  They are building a new one, but won't use the old one anymore so to continue having one high school.  Of course we have two middle schools and the Freshman have to use another building half a mile away, but by God we don't divide up our football talent!

Officially, the school board wants to avoid the East/West animosity that developed when Plano split their high school.

Unofficially, fuck yeah.

My township has 6 elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools.  Not sure why they funnel everyone through the same middle school but then branch off at the next level.

How many kids do they got enrolled? 5k?

Couldn't they have one school for people who care about American football and one school for people who care about school? It would help them both!

In Texas, not caring about football can get you shot.
