Successfully making them...THE MILLENNIUM FALCONS!

MILLENNIUM FALCONS!!! How does that school not have a student body of a bazillion and three? Instead, the school boasts a number of around 70 students.

Millennium High School is located in Piedmont, California. The public high school there is Piedmont High, where Millennium High is more of a magnet school. At Piedmont High students must live in the city of Piedmont, but at Millennium High, students from outside of the city are welcome through an "inter-district" transfer.

At Millennium High students work at their own pace.

From their Wikipedia page:

Credit is earned according to how much students accomplish in class, also earning credits for outside activities, including sports or individual physical exercise programs, music and dramatic arts lessons and activities, employment, community college classes, and community service.

Courses at Millennium High also satisfy University of California's "a-g" admission requirements.

Now to the good stuff! How in the HELL did they get the rights to call themselves the Millennium Falcons?

Millennium student Zak Filler wrote a letter to George Lucas, telling the film maker that he is a big fan of Star Wars, and "a bit on the nerdy side." Lucas granted the school the right to use the Millennium Falcon's image for a school shirt, as well as represent the school as its mascot.

I want to go back to high school, just so I can go to that school!
