Welcome to Wiki feel free to improve the article. --Brat32 05:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to pare this article down. There's too much information, the style's weird, and it's vanity. Thathollygirl 13:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I know I castrated this article, but I figured it's best to start over with citations and such. This article would be fine if we worked on it a bit. Thathollygirl 14:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully I will get to the history section soon and update more. (Note to everyone, the "Established" date is the date of the new building which was built in 1994.) I will be getting to the origin of the Hazel Green school (dates back to 1914 I think) hopefully in the next few days. This research takes a lot of searching and reading so please be patient. Also, if someone could get a picture and post it in the school box that would be great! Thanks --HGHSTROJAN 18:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do not delete, help

Kolle and Holly, I would appreciate if you would help the HGHS page and not hurt it. If the format is off, correct it how you feel it should be. Please do not just delete it. I would appreciate any HELP you can offer.

Hey--sorry to seem insulting. I didn't mean to. The thing is, what was on the page was not appropriate Wiki content. What does need to be there are general statistics--number of students, perhaps racial/economic breakdown (that stuff's in the school report card if anyone's got one), principal's name (but probably leave out vice principals and such, that's not a vital thing), and that sort of thing. When you get into school rules and organizations and such, it gets way out of the focus that Wiki is supposed to have. Those sorts of things can easily be found on the website, which is linked. Also, it's a Wiki rule that everyone sign their posts with four tildes so we can get the timestamp and all.Thathollygirl 21:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

"what was on the page was not appropriate Wiki content...When you get into school rules and organizations and such, it gets way out of the focus that Wiki is supposed to have." Incorrect. In the article Wikipedia: WikiProject Schools , under the heading "structure," it states "The key to writing a good school article is to explain why the school is unique. What makes it different from every other school? Does it have special programs?" In a subtopic of "structure" it lists, "Extracurricular activities — Mention the sports team(s) of the school and what is notable about them. Here is also a good place to mention specific traditions of school, like students' union/student council activities, a student newspaper, clubs, regular activities, etc." If you require further proof, go to Charter School of Wilmington , as this is an ideal article about a high school and it too has extra curricular activities.

To reply to previous post quoted: "general statistics--number of students...principal's name..." All of this information was in the HGHS article until Kolle deleted them. "...leave out vice principals..." Why? (nothing against putting them in) Please do not delete information without proper reason to do so. Organization, is NOT a reason to delete useful information. Help the page please do not hurt it.

Oh, thanks for reminding me about signatures and such, as I was in error in not posting one. HGHSTROJAN 17:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
