NJIT Highlanders vs. High Point University Panthers at the Qubein Center…read more I saw that NJIT, a school where I studied engineering before earning my degree in Charlotte, was playing at High Point University on Friday, December 5th at 7 pm. I try to attend at least one Highlanders game each year--usually in Newark, NJ with my longtime friend, an NJIT Alumni, Mike Johnstone. Even after moving to the North Carolina Triangle, I am still committed to seeing at least one Highlanders "Hoops" game annually. This year, the timing lined up perfectly. I had volunteered earlier in the day at the Fall 2025 Senior Design Expo at UNC Charlotte as a Lee College of Engineering alumnus, so the game in High Point was on my drive home. That said, I would have made the trip from Raleigh regardless. High Point entered that night with every advantage--better form, home court, a stronger roster, and momentum; however, I knew I would enjoy cheering on NJIT. High Point competes in the Big South Conference and started the 2025-26 season strong. Going into Friday's game, they were 7-2 overall and were picked in the preseason poll to finish first in the Big South. The Panthers are a solid mid-major program, coming off one of the best seasons in school history and carrying that momentum forward. NJIT, meanwhile, plays in the America East Conference and entered the night at 3-6 overall. Their road performance has been difficult, and historically the Highlanders have faced challenges, with a long-term winning percentage under .400 since joining Division I in the mid-2000s. Still, I was proud to support them. The outcome was expected, and High Point defeated NJIT 89-72. Despite the loss, I was proud of how competitive NJIT was, and I genuinely enjoyed watching both teams--High Point is an entertaining, well-coached squad. About the Qubein Center The Qubein Center is an impressive venue for basketball and university events. It is modern, beautifully maintained, and staffed by exceptionally friendly people--from the ticket office to the ushers. Because I have knee issues that make stairs difficult, I appreciated that the staff proactively offered me a ticket in the back row so I would not need to navigate steps. Access to my seat was seamless: elevator up, escalator down after the game, and no stairs required to reach the accessible men's room or concessions. The section also had non-assigned accessible seating, and the usher kindly allowed me to use one. That made my viewing experience even more comfortable. Overall, the Qubein Center is one of the most thoughtfully designed college arenas I have visited. Parking & Shuttle Bus Experience I parked in a surface lot off North University Parkway (across from Parkway Commons), located directly across East Lexington Avenue from the Qubein Center. High Point University operates shuttle buses between the parking areas and the arena, which made transportation simple and efficient. Even though I hold a North Carolina DMV Disability Parking Placard, I parked in a regular space adjacent to the designated accessible parking. I do this intentionally so that individuals who require van-accessible spaces can use them. The shuttle service was prompt, courteous, and easy to navigate. About High Point University High Point University is a private institution founded in 1924. In recent years it has grown significantly in both size and academic scope. HPU enrolls approximately 5,000 undergraduate students and is known for programs in business, health sciences, pharmacy, communication, education, interior design, and the arts. The university is also recognized for its significant campus investment, student-experience focus, and national rankings for innovation. For the 2025-26 academic year, HPU's estimated undergraduate tuition and fees are in the range of $45,000-$48,000 annually, with total cost of attendance (including room and board) typically exceeding $60,000. About NJIT The New Jersey Institute of Technology is a public polytechnic university founded in 1881 in Newark. It is widely known for engineering, architecture, computer science, applied sciences, and technology-focused business programs. NJIT enrolls roughly 11,000 students, including one of the most diverse engineering student bodies in the country. As a public institution, NJIT's tuition profile is significantly different from HPU's. For 2025-26, in-state undergraduate tuition typically falls in the $17,000-$19,000 range, while out-of-state tuition is generally around $33,000-$35,000. Overall Impression I had a great time attending the game. I was impressed by High Point University, its fans, the professionalism of the staff, and the overall atmosphere the university created before, during, and after the game. The Qubein Center is a standout facility, and the experience was smooth from parking to seating to the game itself. Even though the Highlanders came up short, it was a memorable night, and I look forward to returning.

He didn't just teach us how to make drinks -- he broke down how to properly run a bar, handle real-life bar scenarios, and navigate challenging situations professionally. The hands-on training and realistic examples really made a difference. He also made the class fun and engaging, which helped everything stick. I created my own study guide from the notes I took in class, and as long as you pay attention and take good notes, you will pass with no problem. One thing I really appreciated is that they allow you to come back as often as you like for additional practice. That shows they truly care about their students being confident and prepared, not just passing the test. 10/10 experience. I left feeling knowledgeable, confident, and ready to step behind a bar. Highly recommend! Great experience from start to finish!

We recently had our High Point Central High School Class of 2000 25-year reunion. As part of our…read morereunion weekend, we went back to Central for the first time in 25 years to tour the school. Shout-out to Jimmy Mitchell, Tommy Cary, and the other organizers who made it happen. Thank you to current HPC Principal Mike Hettenbach for coming in on a Saturday morning, in the middle of the summer, to conduct the tour. We appreciated it. We had a lot of fun. To any HPC alumni who are considering doing this for your reunion, I highly recommend it. If I recall correctly, Mike has been the principal at Central for three years now. During that time, he turned Central around, from being the most dangerous school in Guilford County to the safest. Central was the first school in the county to set up a security checkpoint with a metal detector, etc. No weapons have been found inside the school for two years now. I heard Central had gone downhill since the time I graduated. Then again, a student set the school on fire when we were there in 1997. It appears Mike has really started to turn things around and my view of the school is optimistic with him at the helm. He's proud of the work that's been done since he became principal. I think Central is in good hands with Mike, who is motivated and seems to have a genuine love for the school. I was at Central 1996-2000. During that time, I got cut from the golf team at Blair Park (coach Ray Keever), our girls basketball team won two North Carolina state 3A championships (coach Kenny Carter, who was one of my PE teachers and beat me badly in basketball), and our football team won the state 2A championship (coach Gary Whitman). We went 15-0 and beat Southwest Onslow at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. A bunch of us were there. Academically, we had the IB (International Baccalaureate) program with kids commuting from places like Greensboro for it. I know many students from my class (2000), and shortly before and after, who went to great colleges and experienced lots of success. Many have moved away from High Point, which is sad for the city (brain drain). High Point isn't alone in that. A couple of my favorite teachers at Central included Gary Wilson (electronics, computers, networking) and James Hewitt (history). In addition to AP classes, I was in the Fast Forward program, so I graduated from Central with six hours of college credits in history from UNCG. I took most of my vo-tech classes with Mr. Wilson, was in the Vocational Education Honor Society, and got a full ride to Guilford Technical Community College. I was also in Beta Club and NHS, but was particularly fond of my vocational distinction. I enjoyed those classes which included keyboarding, drafting (Mr. Smith), and computer applications. Under Mr. Wilson's instruction, we built computers from scratch and actually got certified in things like networking, as high school students. If anyone has contact info for Mr. Wilson, I'd love to hear from him again. Another one of my favorite teachers was Karen Hogan who, according to her LinkedIn profile, was at Central from August 1977 to June 2007 -- almost 30 years. She also taught my oldest sister, who was HPC Class of 1989. Mrs. Hogan taught math and led the yearbook staff, which I was on my senior year. Yearbook was fun. Random teacher story: I ran into my 10th grade English teacher, Sylvia Samet, in Alaska in summer 2005. We were both on cruises and our ships docked at the same port around the same time. As for the reunion tour, we only got to see part of the first floor, the new library (where the cafeteria used to be), the new cafeteria (building extension), and the girls and boys gyms. This was because they were waxing the floors while school was out. The tour ended at the boys gym where current men's basketball and golf coach Josh Prince played a Bison men's basketball hype video on the gym's new $75K jumbotron. He also played a special Class of 2000 slideshow, which I believe was made by a current student(s). The tour was quick, lasting just over an hour. Thanks to Josh for his time as well. The big screen was possible thanks to Bison Pride, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, committed to the revitalization of the school. Find out more and donate to Bison Pride here: https://hpcbisonpride.org/ The old real bison that used to be inside the gym's lobby was taken back by its original owner.
