I didn't put this in the article because I couldn't remember the name of the movie, but I know there was a movie shot at GHS. Anybody know the title, by chance? Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 03:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

To the creator: this looks like a good page, may I suggest using the infobox for high schools? You can find it here (there doesn't seem to be a template). Eixo 03:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

You're way ahead of me. Eixo 04:04, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, but I found it for myself on Sunset High School (Portland) and decided to implement it. I suppose great minds thing alike, huh? :D Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 04:02, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Another Grant High School

I just added a stub for another Ulysses S. Grant High School (Valley Glen, California). I would like it so that when someone types "Grant High School" in the search engine, it will give you a choice to go to the California GHS or the Oregon GHS and not just automatically direct you to the Oregon GHS. Any suggestions?

[edit] No more German

Grant High school doesnt offer German as an elective anymore. But you can take it at night school at Benson. So perhaps someone should take out the German in the language part.

[edit] The Page Title

I have reviewed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28schools%29 , which contains the naming conventions for schools. It appears completely proper to have the article's title be the full name as given by the school. If anyone examines the crest, they will note that it says "Ulysses S. Grant High School" quite clearly, depsite containing the initials GHS. There is no dispute that the school is called Ulysses S. Grant High School (and just Grant High School "for short"). So, unless anyone directs me to information saying that this sort of naming convention is incorrect, I think the official entry should be "Ulysses S. Grant High School (Oregon)."
