Will Smith did not go here, i have to keep removing his name from the alumni list. I go to this school, and I know Will Smith was not an alumni (although it is sometimes thought so even by other students). Don't believe me? go here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000226/bio. He graduated from Overbrook High School, he was somehow involved with Masterman according to that page, but he's not what I would consider an alumni (maybe he went to Masterman for middle school? its a high school and middle school combined). So yeah, Smith graduated from Overbrook and had some ties with Masterman but he didnt graduate from there. Interestingly enough, however, the Philly part of the Fresh Prince theme song (the basketball courts) was shot only about a block or two away from Masterman at a park. --insertwackynamehere 16:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Will Smith
Will Smith should be counted as an alumni. He went to Masterman for middle school. Yes, he went to Overbrook for High School, but the only way to get to High School is to graduate middle school. If he graduated middle school, and he went to Masterman to middle school, he must have graduated from Masterman. Graduating makes you an alumni. JesseRafe 02:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- perhaps but when people think of alumni, they think of High School and College. And I dont recall our school getting money from him ever :P i'll look into it though, I'm not even fully sure he went for middle school (I've heard it was just remedial school POSSIBLY not sure on that). I do go to the school after all, why not :P --insertwackynamehere 03:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Masterman does not offer remedial school, if you go there you would know that. Will Smith actually had a full math scholarship to MIT as an option, but instead began his recording career. I don't see what going to the school has to do with anything, what are you going to do, ask Mr. Tancredi? JesseRafe 22:49, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Heh its Mrs. Tancredi and i thought i heard it was a summer remedial school thing, that took place AT masterman. I dunno, so many stories probably all rumors. And yeah Tancredi wouldnt know but Bravo might possibly and Frangipani would have no clue (he was only there for like a bit over a year). I just remember some discussion on Sconex about it so i dunno --insertwackynamehere 19:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Although you seem to have worked this all out, as an FYI, to be an alumni one must merely attend a school, not necessarily graduate from it. JCO312 02:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dress Code
I made some changes to dress code from 1st hand experience. Unfortuantly no sources exist, however I go to the school and know this for a fact. If anyone needs proof I can create a dummy page on the Masterman website (which im now one of the head admins of.. brag++ ^_^). so yeah.. or it can just be reverted to its less factual, better sourced version --insertwackynamehere 01:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- I yanked the section on the dress code and moved the one sourced line to the history section. It doesn't seem notable enough to require its own section anyway, and the stuff that was in there wasn't sourced. JCO312 00:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Andrea Garner
As there's no article on her, I'm pretty sure it's not appropriate to add her as a notable alumni. Sort of similar to the list of births on any given day. I'm not even sure that if someone tried to write an article on her that it would survive a nomination for deletion. JCO312 17:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
