Indeed it was. Assumption High in East St Louis, Illinois - total of 600 students. Which meant something like 300 gallons of raging testosterone went sloshing through the halls every day.
Our 'sister' school was St Theresa's. I suppose they had sloshing estrogen, but I never saw any evidence of that.
BTW, for a Catholic school, we were raw. In my class was a son of the local crime family, and six of my classmates drew convictions for grand larceny, aggravated assault and murder two. I didn't count the auto theft, drugs or robbery/burglary ones: too many to keep track of.
They later converted the place to a juvenile detention center, but that wasn't much of a change!
