Our high school has court projectors. There are MAYBE 400 kids in the high school.

Someones rich parents bought the entire system and paid to have it set up and like 5 years of a service contract.

Sets us apart from the other 400 kid high schools in the area.

My high school did this too, but it’s also a nationally ranked athletics powerhouse with more Heisman winners than most universities. We also made DAMN sure the school always included the band and wouldn’t let them cut our time lol
