Steve Jobs High School opening in Mexico

Faithful Mexican Macenstein reader Christian alerts us that a new Technical High School will be opening in the city of Joquicingo, and it is being named after Steve Jobs (whether he likes it or not).

“In Joquicingo at Mexico State the state government built a new school called Steve Jobs… I wonder if the real Steve knows about it?

The sign reads:
mexico state gov (logo) commitment, (gov slogan)

“steve jobs” technological high school center (CBT steve jobs), joquicingo (city)
technological high school (baqueloratte, not university)

in gray letters:
pre incriptions already open
feb march 2008

in small letters left block:

education national secretary (or bureau in charge of mexico education)
high and medium high school education secretary (or bureau inside the above)
high school education general direction (or bureau inside the above)
technological high school department (inside the bureau above)
school supervisor 64 or 04 for technological baqueloratte (don’t now if the spell is ok)”

Wow, what an honor! And the football games against Woz Valley High are going to be stellar. Of course the real question here is, in a high school comprised completely of geeks, will the kids have to stuff themselves into lockers?

  2. Steve Jobs Tech? Looks more like his garage from the 80s. Somebody must be hoping to get a big donation of Apple computers…

  10. I would bet money that MS would give the school a complete set of computer’s running Vista, free, just to tweak Steve.

  22. Does that mean they have created an artificial reality distortion field to go around the school?, and isnt it a bit hot there for turtlenecks and jeans (school uniform) :)

  24. Actually the state of mexico is really cold, it is in the center of the country, and not all the schools are like that one, steve job’s high would fit like seven times in mine.

  31. AA Attendee on Wed, 1st Oct 2008 2:20 pm
  32. If “eubonics” is a language then so is Mexican, and Californianian, even “Rhode Island and Province Plantations-ian”
