Leechburg is a small town with big mysteries. As rumors flow through the hallways of Leechburg Area High School, they soon turn into myths. By definition, a myth is a belief or legend accepted as history. Leechburg’s myths, however, are a bit different from the traditional and include ghosts roaming the stairways to a rifle range in the school to a swimming pool under the gymnasium. After hearing these rumors over and over again, it becomes difficult to separate the facts from the fiction. The MythBusters’ goal is to discover the truth, one rumor at a time.

Myth Busters: Merger rumors swirl around district once again

Mythbusters:Did you hear the one about the swimming pool under the gym and the rifle range somewhere in this school?

Mythbusters:Whose Homecoming vote really counts?

Mythbusters: Is that you in there, David Leech?

Answer 100 questions in about 20 minutes. Sound like a difficult task? And what if the questions are completion types that ask you to explain your answer? It’s a “think really fast” challenge we call Teachers@Random. Simply, we devised 100 random, short-answer questions and turned the tables on the teachers quizzing them about everything from what activities they participated in while they were in high school to what bribes they would accept from students if they were allowed to how they like their eggs prepared – if they like eggs at all. So if you think you know your teachers really well because you spend about 180 class periods a year with them, you may be surprised at some of the more unusual answers from their “quizzes” that we chose to share with our readers.
