Normal capacity is 60 students, and with 40 to 45 students total, accounting for NPCs, there just aren’t enough graduates per year to make it a grads-only event.

No professors are noted because they often change due to plot threads and idle reaping.

Classes are normally divided into a 7/8 split, a Junior (9 and 10) and a Senior (11 and 12) groupings for required courses (English, Math, Sciences, Social Studies, Phys Ed) and intro and advanced for elective.

A normal course load is 5 courses per semester. Most classes are year long. Half-year classes are denoted by *.

**Sex Ed is a two week mini-course taught to each grade level in turn.

Clubs & After School Activities

We have had mentioned in RP things like after school first aid training with Jean, a student drama club, student activist groups, student bands, student dance committees, intramural sports teams, and plenty of other things. Feel free to make up your own, post posters ICly, whatever floats your fancy.

For the Techies

The School webpage is www.x-school.edu. It is a standard school webpage that mentions nothing about jets in the basement or superheros. Xavier's also has cable ports in every dorm room, in addition to the computer lab. There's a school intranet and people have storage space on it (100MB for students, with more as needed, as much as desired for the faculty and staff.)

Xavier's School hands out emails and personal webspace to the students. Emails usually take the form of first initial plus first seven letters of the last name. jlee@x-school.edu for Jubilee or irasputi@x-school.edu for Illyana. If there are two students who'd have the same one, you'd get jsmith@x-school.edu for the first one, and jsmith01@x-school.edu Teachers get to pick their own, because they're special. There are email mailing lists:

• GENERAL@listerv.x-school.edu is for everyone
• STUDENTS@listserv.x-school.edu is for the students (Although the Professor's a mod, so watch the flames.)
• STAFF@listserv.x-school.edu is for, duh, the faculty and staff.

And we're not telling you what the Super Secret X-Men one is. Because it hasn't come up yet. As stated above, students also get their own personal webspace, which would be found at www.x-school.edu/~jsmith for an example.
