However, by The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Velma is said to have graduated from a different high school (as stated in the episode "Spirited Spooked Sports Show"). In the original flagship Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! series, Velma is shown to attend the same high school as the rest of the gang (as stated in the inaugural episode " What a Night for a Knight").
