Have you ever been out of town and told someone that you lived in Hampton and they always think about Virginia instead? If you’re wondering, we’re not the only Hampton High School and theirs has quite the differences!
Both schools are big on football and have totally different team names which was quite surprising. Hampton Pa has the Hampton Talbots while Virginia has the Hampton Crabbers, well named for their location along the coast.
The colors are also different too, Talbots blue and gold and Crabbers white and red.
Now if we’re looking into the ranking or grading of the school in general, according to Niche.com a website created in Pittsburgh, Hampton Pa was awarded an A+ while Hampton in Va received a C. This takes into account diversity(which Va got a B while Pa got a C-), safety, food, clubs and college prep along with a few more topics.
Unfortunately an interview wasn’t able to be established with the head principal in Hampton Virginia. Most of the information was found through research without much inside information on what it’s like to go to the other school.
Fun fact: Hampton Virginia has an AFJROTC(Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) while Hampton Pennsylvania does not.
