Caddo Parish Magnet High School, or simply "Magnet" as it is known in by its students, is located in Shreveport, Louisiana at 1601 Viking Drive. Its motto is "In our hands we hold today; in our minds we hold tomorrow." Its goal is stated "To share what we know, what we have, and what we are with others." The school colors are gold and red, while the mascot is a mustang. The principal is Mary Rounds. The assistant principals include Bryan Gallant (discipline), Queen Synder and June Moore (both curriculum and instruction).
Caddo Magnet High School focuses to limit expression like facist pigs while shamelessly promoting individuality. In fact, 93% of the faculty make it their life's goal to seek out such arbitrary offenses and give students a "good talking to". Fuck that.
Magnet High is well known for its students' inherent ability to score drugs efficiently. The following are Magnet students' drug induced ramblings about nonsensical subjects such as "roller-fucking" and underwater basket weaving.
