Carson High School is a high school (grades 9-12) in Carson City, Nevada.
Departments: Art, Health, Language Arts, Math, Music, Naval Science, Occupational, PE/Weights, Science, Social Studies, Special Ed.
School Spirit: "School Spirit" has been very low for many years now, but is finally starting to show signs of improvement. The school's staff and advisors have tried to boost school spirit with numerous special events. There is now a "Senator Pride" club for staff, and the student equivalent, "C-Unity". Attendance at sporting events has increased thanks to the "Stack the Stands" posters and announcements.
Larry the Busdriver: Larry is characterized by his trademark Las Vegas trucker hat and cool shades. His greeting is usually "Howdy Howdy!". He no doubt "has". The only problem is that if you know the name of the bus driver you are either a freshman or a pathetic loser.
Mascot: Carson High School's mascot is the Senator, indicative of Carson City being the capital of Nevada. Currently the mascot is seen to have one side of his mouth open, like a peanut with one side crushed. This is because the mascot previously had a cigar in his mouth, however due to Political Correctness the cigar has been removed which has led to a perpetual scowl on the face of the Senator. In recent years the senator has been known to throw free t-shirts into the crowd at packed home games, however, the t-shirts are usually the misprinted shirts that the school couln't sell. There was word of the senator being changed to a golddigger, but the school district soon discarded the idea.
Notable alumni: Dean Heller, politician.
Matt Williams, professional baseball player.
Lute Pease, cartoonist.
Matthew Erwin, internationally renouned globe-trotter and style guru.
Hobart Cavanaugh actor, Virginia City.
