Very much a dictatorship in a lot of ways, the athletic director is also the men's soccer coach and…read moredismissed me from the team because he simply didn't like me not because of my skill level. At one point he whispered in my ear "You could've told me to Fuck off with the offer I gave you". After he kicked me off the team, he told me the only way for you to be on the team is as a film analyzer, I would watch games and give information. Probably the most disrespectful thing someone could ask a serious athlete. The problem at NU is that as a Christian school there is no form of accountability with staff. There is a thought that a Christian isn't capable of atrocities, but as we have seen time and time again on the news. Disguising themselves with the religion to still have ill intentions and be overcome by human nature like Gary McIntosh. The most devoted Christians are sometimes the biggest devils; pride is the devil. I have brought this to the president's attention, and I was told by Dr. Castleberry that my accusations weren't credible and told me to rather place the blame on myself. The men's program hasn't had a successful year in all the time Gary has been there, no accountability. A former teammate told me that Gary spoke about not caring about winning. NAIA is a competitive league with many players seeking to become professional, do not go to NU if you want to have an athletic career. Gary allowed my teammates to tell me to "go fuck yourself" and even when they said it directly in front of him, Gary took action once by sitting him out for about 5 minutes. Coach Titus was also a witness to many of these harassments during spring season and regular season. I openly expressed to Gary my thoughts on the season prior and how I wanted to Transfer to a different program, I don't think my honesty sat well with him. While he was giving me phone calls praising how I was doing with the team, he suddenly in the middle of practice got into my face and yelled "GET OFF OF MY FIELD" after I hadn't moved into a certain position. Before he yelled, I told him " I thought I was in a good position" does that warrant punishment for Gary to turn orange like a red peach and yell while water falls of saliva come out of his mouth? Ultimately that was my last practice as I waited three weeks in "Probation" for him to come up with an answer whether I would remain on the team or not. In those three weeks the men's soccer team were throwing house parties while I sat depressed in my room just wanting to play. Days before the dropout deadline Gary wasn't responding to me, I had to get Vice President Rick involved. Well, I didn't drop out in time, so I am also 7,000 dollars in debt, debt that was sent to collections. I tried appealing this even when I have emails proving my intent to drop out before Sept. 28th and proving Gary was not in cahoots' with me. Vice-president Rick and President Castleberry denied my request without any investigation. After all I experienced with NU, I still followed the men's and women's team. Never missing a home game for either team, or even traveling to Oregon on my own to support the women's team during their playoff run. Rick was also in attendance at every home game; he never approached me after everything that had happened. I was an outcast at a Christian school, let that sink in. NU did get me closer to God, but not in the way I expected.

I know that this review is pretty long. Just consider the list of alumni as extra credit reading…read more FHS is currently the oldest high school amongst the twelve high schools in the Seattle School District. FHS first opened its doors in 1912 in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood and it was designed in the Neoclassical/Greek Revival style by Seattle School District architect, Edgar Blair. The school was once deemed the most beautiful high school west of the Mississippi and featured at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. The other basics: Mascot: Quakers Annual: Tolo* Colors: Green and Black Newspaper: Tolo * = Tolo is a Native American (Kalapuya) word that means: "to win, excel, gain, prevail, earn, control, convince, overcome, subdue, triumph, and succeed." Call me a freak, but I did enjoy my years in high school. I know that at times it was awkward, but I generally loved being an actively engaged student at Franklin. May it be the various clubs, athletics and the like; I definitely made the most of it. Oh, I did a lot of studying too! The school curriculum hasn't changed from I have seen. They still offer many honors, advance placement and humanities classes. I could go on about athletics at Franklin, but that would be a review in itself. Suffice to say, FHS has excelled in sports with numerous city and state championships. One thing I didn't know is that Franklin has the most players from western Washington to play in the NFL (8). FHS also feature a powerhouse Mock Trial team. One thing that I do remember about school was the diversity. FHS has always been one of the most racially and ethnically diverse schools in Washington. Former student, and Nobel Prize winner, George Hitchings ('23) said it best in his biography: "My experiences at Franklin High School in Seattle were notable for another reason. We had a most heterogeneous population, one that blended upper class and minorities including blacks, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and first generation Catanians. As a result I lost any self-consciousness I felt in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds." I didn't know what a Catanian was and had to look it up. Catania is a city in Sicily. That makes sense because Rainier Valley, where the school is located, was known as "Garlic Gulch." This concludes the formal part of this review. The rest is just extra credit. The following is just a small sample of distinguished Quaker alumni: Medicine: George Hitchings ('23) - Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine. Considered to be the pioneer in the biochemical approach to chemotherapy. Dr. William Hutchinson ('27) - Cancer research specialist and founder of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Business & Government: Gary Locke ('68) - Former King County Deputy Prosecutor, King County Executive and two-term governor of Washington. Alfred Moen ('34) - Inventor and founder of Moen Faucets. Everett W. Nordstrom ('19) - Took over his father's shoe company in 1928 with his two brothers and turned a local company into a national clothing retail empire. Nordstrom is the largest shoe retailer in the United States. The Nordstrom family is also responsible for bringing the NFL to Seattle and were the first owners of the Seahawks. Victor Steinbrueck ('28) - Architect. Designer of the Space Needle and saved the Pike Place Market from destruction. He was a force for preserving the architectural heritage of Seattle. Journalism: Royal Brougham ('12) - Sports writer and former editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Some of you may recognize his name because the street that runs between Qwest Field and Safeco Field is named after him. Emmet Watson ('37) - Columnist that worked for many of Seattle's newspapers that include the Seattle Star, P-I and Times. Noted author and champion of Lesser Seattle. Stephanie Stokes Oliver ('70) - Author, publisher, and former editor of Essence Magazine.
