Ellensburg School of Technology and Dance

Ellensburg School of Technology and Dance, or ESTD as the cool kids like to call it, is located in the town of Ellensburg, Washington. It is ran by the dean, Thomas Walters. It is also the setting for The University.

The school's colors are black and gold. It's mascot is the ESTD Burglar (Ellensburglar), and it's main rival is the Hannah Institute of Valedictorians. It's main focus for students is either a degree in Technology or Dance, with different specializations branching off of these (such as Robotics or Square Dancing respectively). Up until this year, there was also a lesser known Ancient Dead Languages major. The school has a strange assortment of General Education classes that must be accomplished before graduation, such as Archeology 101.

Events
The school has a yearly "ESTD Man of the Year Competition", where local men attending can participate to become the alpha male at the school (as seen in S1, E4: The Trouble with Talent).

ESTD has been the sole winner of the local "Gift-Givathon" charity donation for the past four years. They lost during the most current year (as seen in S2, E3: The Trouble with Charity).

Staff
ESTD itself is ran by a large tree of deans. The head position is often referred to as "Super Dean", the current being Thomas Walters. This branches off to each category at the school: Dean of Dance (Vincent Octavius) and Dean of Technology (Jeffery Smith). It can be assumed there was once a dean for Ancient Dead Languages, before it's removal.

The second most powerful position at the school is Dean's Assistant. The current dean however does not have one. Strangely enough, the third most powerful is the school's councilor. This is how Thomas became dean.

There is a student council within the framework of ESTD. It is said that they have a strange power over the school, however very little is actually known about them or who they are.

Issues
The school has ran into many issues in it's past, involving both students and staff alike. Four years ago, the ex-dean of the school Dean Dain took one of the students hostage and held him at gunpoint (as seen in S1, E9: The Trouble with Finales II). He was apprehended, and fired from his position soon after.

Because of the troubles on campus, the government has sent in federal agent Tyson "Thunderboy" MacReady to help keep the ruckus to a minimum. Results have been mixed.

Ellensburg was plagued by a virus which infected the water system, causing ESTD to go into quarantine mode. In the end, it turned out to be simply a large deposit of lead, caused by CEO of the Parasol Corporation Alan Wisker (as seen in S2,E4: The Trouble with Quarantines).
