All I want to know is: where do I get the t-shirt. If this school is mart, they’d get the logo trademarked and start their CAFE account.

umm….i’m a girl from BHS. You are a freaking weirdo who should be put into a mental institution. I think that Butte is a wonderful name and a fetching awesome place to live. You are lucky to live in Arco. SCREW ALL OF U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arco has a lot of good fishing places and if our basketball team sucks so bad then how come we have won the state championship TWICE??? In a FREAKING ROW????? and keep wishing because none of the girls would be stupid enough to talk to a person like you Gn!!!!!!!!POKY IS GAY!!!!!!!!!and thats a really really bad catch line. FYI. and you’re not that great of a speller yourself. (Brett if this is you you are friking screwed.)

haha when I came from poky to this school I broke down laghing my ass off because of the name but I got over it pretty fast. Butte is a mountain in idaho they call it the great butte or something like that. If you go to the local grociery store in Arco which is called the A&A where most people in town get their food theres a picture of the butte on the wall looking outside the sliding doors. The name may be dumb but the girls at the school a fucking hot. Good catch line at that school for girls would probly be hey wanna be my butt pirate, idk just thoght about it. overall it’s a pretty good school except the english department it’s pretty bad on spelling. Mr.Chambers is pretty funny I sat down in the office for a bit whial he was talking to one of the castodians and he said alot of funny things that just made me lagh, when he walk out into the commens he flexed in front of me and said 200 something pure muscle what you got. I just broke down laghing my ass off, he’s a pretty funny guy. As for the athletic team they get alot of shit about the name of the school, still they make up for it by kicking there ass at pretty much every school they go up against. The girls basketball team this year Sucks they need to learn to pass a little more elusively.

I swear, the first time I saw their website, that GIF had the word “PIRATES” along the bottom of the image instead of “High School”. A smaller version can be seen here:

Amy: Thanks for all the recent information!

I think most people know it’s prononced “beaut” and not “butt”, but the confusing rule of “silent e” in English makes pronouncing “Butte” as “butt” very plausible – thus making the frequent interpretation of “Butte Pirates” as “butt pirates” possible.

It’s still sophomoric humor, but that doesn’t make it any less funny.

I actually go to this high school by the way… seriously, I promise. If proof is needed… um, on the wikipedia, it said that the principal was Erik Strom (who happens to be one of my best best best friend’s dad)… for one thing, he was the principal of the middle school, not the high school, and he moved this year. The principal of the high school was previously Brandon Ferris… But now it’s… umm.. I don’t know is first name, but his last name’s Chambers, which is creepy if you ask me. He’s obsessed with shaking peoples’ hands…

So anyway, well I think they took if off of the website because people kept emailing them about how “vugar” it was to be the Butte Pirates. I definitely think it’s oh so weird, I don’t know WHY in the world they’d even choose to be the pirates, not smart. But it’s pronounced like Beaut in Beautiful… haha. But yeah! I go to that school! I’m a sophomore… bye bye!

If you look at the picures on the frontpage of Butte’s website you can see it says “home of the pirates”

Ryan: Haha! Thanks for the tip--yes, it looks like Orofino High School hails itself as the "Home of the Maniacs" and is right around the corner from Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino. Google Maps of 300 Dunlap Rd. shows how close everything is. Too funny!
