An entirely unexpected aspect of naming a high school the same name as an office supply company has arisen: people make jokes about it. However, many find the closeness of the two Staples to simply create a kerfuffle. For instance, many students believe that the current Staples High School slogan, “Respect for Life,” should be changed to the Staples office supply slogan, “That was easy.” Lam said, “We should have ‘That was easy’ buttons in place of raising our hands.” There is potential that a white-lined allegiance between the two Staples would benefit students everywhere. Many students wish that SHS and Staples Office Supplies would become a united force for Staples goodness. “My favorite thing at the Staples office supply store are the employees and their amazing knowledge of paper and office supplies.” “My favorite things at Staples High School are the teachers and the happy faces that roam the hallways,” said Francesca Lam ’13. Sometimes, the pursuit of Staples happiness is related to the big picture. Whether it be culinary or clips, people find joy in the little things at both Staples. “I like Robin the lunch lady the best at SHS, and the colorful paperclips at Staples ,” said Kovtun.

“Both, I assume, are soul-sucking places to spend extended periods of time,” Bowles said.ĭespite their differences, both Staples have qualities that make an average high school experience a spectacular one.

However, Andrew Bowles ’13 sees a similarity between the two. One is filled with employees who supply students with the tools they need to prosper in school. Besides that, absolutely nothing.” Other than in their titles, the similarities between the two Staples are lacking. Staples High School, named after its founder Horace Staples, and Staples Office Supplies, presumably named after the specific office supplies in which it finds itself to be proficent, are like Lindsay Lohan circa 2002 and Lindsay Lohan circa 2013: they sound similar, but are confusingly different.īut what do Staples the school and Staples the supplier actually have in common? Hamilton Kovtun ’15 said, “Probably the name.

As students walk through the hallways at Staples, they may be greeted by one of two aromas: the fresh scent of new paper products and ink or the lingering fume of Axe battling flowery perfumes.
