My brother took a Python class his Senior year of high school
The best I got out of high school back in the early 90's was an "Intro to Computer Programming" using Turing[1], of all things on a Macintosh Classic. Of course we didn't have the internet either back then, but I digress.
You guys are so lucky to be growing up post internet. :)

We didn't have any computer science while I was in high school, and my family didn't own a computer until halfway through my sophomore year, so a big chunk of my high school programming was BASIC and assembly on TI calculators.
- wccrawford 15y agoWhen I was in high school, the local college didn't have any programming classes at all. The closest was how to use Excel. I have to agree that you guys are lucky to be growing up post-internet. (For fun, I just checked and they now teach C++, VB, Java, PHP and SQL.)
