Probably not notable enough to merit its own article. Just wanted other people's opinion on this in case I am wrong. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 02:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Due to recent edits made to the article, I decide to withdraw the nomination. I'm going to close this AfD as an admin. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 00:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Non-notable school. I think it should be speedy deleted for no assertion of its notability, but that doesn't seem to happen with schools. TJ Spyke 04:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Directory information only. We can't really speedy high schools, because probably all of them will be contested. There have been a number of prod's for middle schools, and that might be appropriate for schools with as little to say for themselves. No prejudice against a proper article, if there is the material and the interest. The best way to encourage good high school articles is by removing the meaningless ones.

- Keep Oy vey! (How the previous participants in this discussion have been able to avoid this phrase is beyond me.) All high schools are notable, as I argue here. But because it's stumpy, I'd be in favor of redirecting this one to a school district article if it existed, or even a community article, if this school serves only one community.

Delete per DGG.Oy vey is right: the article is the barest of stubs about the school. It's had a good year to be improved, but nothing has come of it. There's not even a district article, so a merge isn't warranted. —C.Fred (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Delete per WP:N. There is no consensus at Wikipedia that high schools are or are not notable, as evidenced by the various high school AfDs closed as "Delete", "Keep" and "No Consensus". As such, each high school article has to satisfy the same criteria as any other article, and this one does not. Ole! --Butseriouslyfolks 20:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - a high school that is significant in its community now with references to meet WP:N. TerriersFan 22:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per edits between my initial recommendation and TerriersFan's. I'm not sure what it says about the school, but the gorilla mask incident that led to coverage on CourtTV? That moves the article out of just-another-school-stub-article land. Notable. Disclaimer: I do not advocate donning a gorilla mask to get your school an article in Wikipedia, just for the record. —C.Fred (talk) 22:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
