Kanye High

Posted Feb 28th 2009 4:30AM by TMZ Staff

Finally, an explanation re: Kanye's feeble attempt to become the next Arthur Fonzarelli.

The superstar/emotional/ninth-grader was wearing a letterman jacket this week ... now we know it's from Kamaikin High School in Washington.

We're guessing it was a shameless attempt to recruit fans, because students at the school went nuts after seeing the video on TMZ. They made Friday Kanye Day. No word if the school will change its name to Kanye High -- come to think about it....

10. Wow, I thought Kanye was about more than promoting stereotypical ideas of Native Americans. Look at that mascot ,I know for a fact none of my relatives ever looked like that. We are not mascots and this is not honoring our people.

11. Its actually spelled "Kamiakin" I should know I live right by there. The good news is that at least you guys know which state it is in and how to spell Washington so just by mixing up those two letters tmz I give you an A - thanks for trying.

12. ok 1. the person who said it is a junior high school needs to learn how to use google
2. Kamiakin is way too cool for Kanye
3. To the native amercan person: well if you are upset about the color of the indian maybe you should e-mail the high school with a better one and not get your pannies in a bunch
