It may be a surprise to FC but students at New Albany and Providence make odd assumptions about the FC student body. Whether the accusations are true or not is the real question. These students from other schools have spoken up about these stereotypes.
Many accusations have been made about FC’s student body.
“I have heard that they cheat on a lot of things and are all stuck-up, snobby wealthy people,” said Providence sophomore Aaron Flanagan.
“From what has been told to me through the grape vine is that Floyd Central is all rich and mostly arrogant, smart kids,” said Providence freshman Brooke Hayden.
Some people have different opinions on if FC is actually stuck-up wealthy kids or not. There may be some truth behind FC’s stereotypes but most of the time, students from FC would deny these stereotypes.
“There might be a few people from Floyd Central that are a little more blessed than some of us, but for the most part I don’t think these stereotypes are true for all of the FC student body,” said Hayden.
Providence freshman Jeffery Krieger said people from Providence go through the same thing with the wealthy kids assumptions, but they are more aimed at FC than to Providence.
Wondering how these stereotypes are brought up again during different sports seasons only one thing comes to mind- who has more school spirit? “I say students at FC can be stuck up and have no spirit but when they put their mind to it they are all great people,” said senior Mike Springer.
This upcoming sports season should be a close one. With rivalry schools coming to play on FC’s home court for basketball and FC’s crazy student sections to fill up New Albany’s and Jeffersonville’s visiting student sections for football, this season will be a rowdy one.
