Okay, it looks like it's got 380 students -- which is larger than my college, but covers 8 grades. So not that big, actually.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
Emily, I'd simply call and make sure she knows you're the person recommended by your professor, and let her take it from there. If she asks why you'd like to teach there, be honest -- it sounds like an interesting atmosphere, the school's performance is really impressive, what have you. If she's willing to talk to you *knowing* you haven't taught yet, I'm willing to bet it isn't something she's going to grill you about.
I don't get the scheduling, either, though. That can't be right. You'd only have a chance to teach one class a day that way, yes?
Good news, tommyrot! No tumors is a very good thing.
Yay, vw! 92 rocks.

Also: I should be doing laundry and packing for my trip (leave for Denver tomorrow afternoon, have to go to work in the morning), and ideally, would be CLEANING (because my apartment is a PIT), but...I don't WANNA! Can't magic fairies come and pack my luggage while I read a book and go to bed early?

So far they haven't showed up here to do at least a hundred pages of copyediting I was supposed to have done by tomorrow. And all I want to do is have tea and cinnamon toast and watch Medium.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Can't magic fairies come and pack my luggage while I read a book and go to bed early?Not until they are done here. And they haven't even showed up yet. Guess I'll have to make my own tea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never been to a school with lockers - we kept our books in desks, unlocked, in classrooms used by many people.
Until 6th form, when no one had more than four subjects, so we carried everything with us.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Speaking of grad school: what the heck are they wanting in a "personal statement"? I mean, sure, say "I really want a degree in X, cause it's what I want to do and this is how my past experience is great for that", but...I'm just not sure of the tone/formality/setup.
When I was doing grad school applications, I googled for some advice and found a bunch of sites that had sample personal statements. It helped me get the hang of what kind of tone was expected.

My two sophomores share a locker. I really don't know what they would do without it. I tried to pick up K-Bugs backpack the other day and almost hurt myself. I understand why so many kids have roller-wheel backpacks.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Locks on lockers are not to prevent the administration from accessing a student's locker, they are there to stop other kids from doing so.
Don't they get theft and vandalism and petty bullying and other shit going on?
When I was in 7th grade, we had lockers with a "no locks" rule. Administration said it was to keep students from being late by taking the time to open locks.
Don't remember theft problems. More problems by people putting embarrassing things into other people's lockers.

Well, I'm applying to grad school in Seattle, so...yeah, would kinda have to. But whether I go would depend in part on the job situation, among other things (finances, visiting the place and actually liking it...)
SEATTLE!!!!1!
Ahem.
