this is an awesome Wikipedia Article on CHS!

I bet the person who put up all the pictures is an awesome person too...

I'm sure their a whole lot more awesome than the person who wrote most of the history on CHS—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ukorim (talk • contribs) 14:22, 19 March 2006.

Yah, I agree, this is an awesome article. It does justice to an awesome school! The pictures are cool, but I have more respect for the person who did all the strenous research for the history of the school. That is what really gives us an insight on the school's character, not just some pictures. Thank you whoever did that! Keep adding more!!

^the person who wrote the above comment starting with "yah, I agree..." is different from the person who wrote the stuff before that! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.21.62.209 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 20 March 2006.

          • MISINFORMATION******

Buford and Walker schools were NEVER high schools. They were built in the late-60's, early-70's as junior high schools. I know I went there. I graduated the last class of Lane High School in 1974. Our Mascot was the Black knight and our colors were Orange and Black. Please verify your historic facts before submitting them.

[edit] Looking back at the last year of Lane High School

I was in the last graduating class of Lane High School. I remember petitions from different students being passed around asking for signatures for various names that the high school would be named. Most of the black kids wanted "Martin Luther King High School", most of the white kids wanted to leave it as "Lane High School". Somehow, it got named "Charlottesville High School". Our mascot was the Black Knight and our school colors Orange and Black, so these were not original to CHS. Lane still stands and is now the Albemarle County Office Building. Walker and Buford "Middle" schools were built around 1968 or so, and were junior high schools. Charlottesville school district was split down the middle of town and half of 7-9th graders went to Walker the other half to Buford. When my class was in the 6th grade (67-68) all 6th grades in the City were sent to Jefferson School (which had once been a black high school). After the 6th grade, we either went to Walker or Buford, and met up again at Lane as sophomores. At no time were Walker or Buford Middle schools (Junior highs) used as high schools. I just wanted to clear up some misinformation I saw in the history of Charlottesville High. Thank you.

Sorry guys, we just put up information that we were fed thorugh middle school... we appreciate your information!
