Empire High School, Tucson, Arizona, USA, is one of the first public high schools to use all-wireless laptop technology, and fully digital (no textbooks) curriculum resources. It is a part of the Vail School District.

Empire opened for student use in July 2005. The first year to have students graduate will be 2007, and the class of 2009 will be the first fully graduating class. The school has around 700 students.

The class of 2012 received MacBooks rather than the iBook G4 because Mac does not make them anymore. The newest freshmen class is the largest class in the school's history, with over 250 students.

Empire's mascot is a raven, and their colors are red, Purple, and black. The high school competes at the 7A level in athletics. The school also features more than a dozen student clubs.

CCC, Chinese Chicken Cult

Many students believe that the school was built on an ancient chinese chicken graveyard, this has been disproved by chicken experts, CCE. A secret cult of believers, led by a gay child by the name of Matt Hardwick, who keeps the idea alive. Matt Hardwick was recently suspended, and arrested, in 2009, for bringing chickens and burying them alive. Colin Campbell attempted to bust out of prison yelling "My world of warcraft character needs me to play him!". Colin Campbell was deemed to be insane after sexually assaulting his father. The incident was video taped by random bypassers who thought the act was arosing.

Daring Act of 2008

In the year 2008 a student by the name of Errol Sestiaga was arrested for murdering a live cow on school grounds. Matt Hardwick was convicted of holding off people trying to set the cow free. The cow later turned out to be poisoned and released a dark green gas upon the crowd. The crowd turned into mutant cow monsters and start rampaging, The school board insists that this was a rumor spread by the CCC, led by Matt Hardwick, who was in the crowd trying to save the cow and unleash chickens upon Errol and Matt. The chickens were in mid-flight when the cow died and the chickens fell lifeless. Jonathan Timerman recalls the, what there is historic, day. " When I was attacked by the mutant cow monsters I thought it was the end, but then my father came to the rescue. He took me to his car and we made love". This comment has largely been rejected because of the ending sentence. The cow monsters dissipated into air at the end of the whole ordeal. Jonathan Steiner was also there, his only recorded comments are "yeahhhh!" and "NO."

Fall of the CCC

The CCC otherwise known as the Chinese Chicken cult led by Colin Campbell was effortlessly dissolved by LMLF also known as The Luncheon Meat Liberation Front. On Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 over three hundred members of the CCC were annexed into LMLF, making LMLF the strongest student power in Empire's history. Colin Campbell left abondoned by his very own organization retreated into his room to play WoW. He hasn't been seen or heard from since. Many speculate that he is recruiting students to bring the CCC back once again and challenge LMLF.

LMLF the New Age

As the CCC was wiped off of the face of the Earth Arizona's branch of The Luncheon Meat Liberation Front took the stage as the strongest world power, and under the leadership of Matt Hardwick k there has been an age of School-wide peace. With everything the LMLF is invovled in it keeps the student body running while staying underground. It is said that the LMLF has over 500 students either recruited or closely associated with it. The intentions of this powerful organization are still unclear but some speculate that world domination may be on their agenda.

Matt Hardwick, a tale of sorrow

By many Matt Hardwick was hailed as a hero. The, what some refer to him as 'evil', Colin Campbell was forced to withdraw into his room and play world of warcraft, a level 80 character named Nagrand, and the school was good. The rumors of chinese chickens under the school gradually fell. Colin's life work seemed to be destroyed. The LMLF had an eye for the leadership of the school. However one CCC member stayed loyal to the cause. His name was Robeirto, last name unkown, many know him as Rauhl. During the LMLF's campaign to make the school an easier learning enviroment they overlooked one thing, Rauhl. He secretly crept into the room of Matt Hardwick and gave him a stern talking to. Colin Campbell was jealous, he saw because he has cameras in Matts room, and came out of hiding. He jumped Matt and tried to take him out once and for all. Rauhl was turned after seeing his old master do something like this and yelled the following, "Colin! Nobody likes you! You have no friends and your fat! Go play video games, CHUNK!". Colin Campbell was heart broken, and slowly retreated to his room once more. The CCC had its final downfall that day. Rauhl joined the side of the LMLF that day. No further information has ever been supplied.
