iouth Broward as a member of the Class of 88."I really and truly
ring to South Broward. I graduated in 1988 and my principal
was Mr. Towles, who passed
away a few years back. Going
to South Broward was an
extcnsion of living in
Holly.wood, and still is. I still
run into alumni all the time
everywhere I go in Hollpvood
and even if we didn't know
each other in high school or go
at the same time, it's an
unspeakable bond. My two
older sisters, Arm Marie and
Linda went to South Broward
and my younger brother, Augie
did as well, so we are definite-
ly a South Broward family. I
had so many amazing teachers
that I can honestly say had a
profound effect on me. My 9th
grade teacher Mr. Masters had
to have been beyond frustrated
with my struggle with Algebra,
I bless him, he didn't let up. (I would have given up on me). My
de Geography teacher, Mr. Burckhart, not only taught me about
ld, but told me I should go into broadcasting."
ntinues: "Mrs. Emory, my Chorus teacher for two years in a
row, never once commented on my terrible singing, and ended up being
my neighbor and I grew to love her and her husband until they both
passed. Mrs. Andersen and Mrs. Schott grew my love for literature. The
teachers made you feel like you mattered. That was the energy and the
vibe of South Broward High School. We were the 'high school by the
beach' We were spoiled. School spirit was off the charls and it didn't
matter what click you were in, you belonged there. I really feel like my
four years at South Broward high school shaped me into the person I
am today and I am forever grateful to bc a South Broward Bulldog!!"
And finally, that French speaking pop star???
If you Wiki "South Broward High School", you won't see her namc on
the alumni list, however I did track her down. Yianna Katsoulous, Class
of'78.
"I graduated Valedictorian ofthe class of 1978.," she replied from Paris.
"I loved Mrs. Sant my French teacher who died a while back in a car
crash. She had been my French teacher for 4 years and she was a rcal
pislol. I also adored Mrs. Goodheart who taught us English and she
was severe and made us work hard, but I followed her every word and
leamed so much from that woman. Mr. English was my Humanities
teacher and he was brilliant; a wonderful influence on my artistic career.
I can't always remember namcs, but traveling around the world does
that to one's brain. Of course there were others who were amusing, like
the gym teachers, and although I didn't like changing into the strange
bluc uniform with the snaps that looked like something out of the
Twilight Zone, I did my required PE classes with glee, especially gym-
nastics and doing cartwheels into splits which is still something I enjoy
doing to this day at age 52. I won a scholarship to Smith College in
Northampton, MA., and continued French, drama, and anthropology. I

was bitten by the "costume bug" and couldn't quite forget the glory on
being on stage. I was lucky enough to do my Junior Year Abroad in
France, and realized that I could knock them dead there, and I did once
I finished my studies at Smith. I retumed to Paris and lived there for 20
years." What about an interesting anecdote about the good old days?
Katsoulos was happy to obligc. "I was a cheerleader all four years. At
one game, all 12 cheerleaders drank a pmch spiked with vodka...it was
a tradition that had been going on for years. When a teacher caught us
because she saw empty bottles on the field, she called us into the princi-
pal's office the following Monday. Only six cheerleaders admitted
drinking the punch. Those ofus who told the truth were suspended for
one week. Moral of the story could be that honesty does not pay.
Except for the fact that that week I went to the beach every day and had
a nice vacation, tooling around Ft. Lauderdale and Miami and visiting
placcs I would have never seen since I did not often stray far from the
library when I was in high school. It all worked out nicely; with evcry
teacher signing a petition saying that suspending us was absurd,"
Katsoulos has a new CD entitled "La Reine Des Annees 80 est de
Retour" (The Queen of the 80's is Back). Her videos can be viewed on
YouTube. Othernotable alumni include Janice Dickinson, self-pro-
claimed "world's first supermodel" who filed a patemity suit against
Sylvester Stallone and Craig Grasso, a Disney animator.
Jaleal Jack, who is a Business Professionals ofAmerica student at
South Broward is proud ofhis school. "I love South Broward because
it's a school of peace," Jalcal said. "We takc time to help outside of
school, like the annual harvest drive when we collect nonperishable
good for families who can't afford a nice Thanksgiving dinner. South
Broward is a school of determination
where friendships build and we get a
chance to frnd out who we are. At
South Broward education is not a
motive, it's a desire."
