why is pingry listed in an online encyclopedia?

[edit] The SAT scores

um those SAT scores have a huge gap (610-720) for the middle 50%. Furthermore, does this mean that those of us at pingry who are above average intelligence for a Pingry Student all get 720-800s??? just a thought..Jigsaw Jimmy 18:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Dan... you haven't graduated yet... Maybe in June...

[edit] Pingry and Wikipedia

I know that Mr. Hata has already begun something like what I'm going to describe, but wouldn't it be lovely if somehow updating Wikipedia articles of all types could be worked into some classroom assignments? It would be a lovely way to let lots of the research that we all do and then throw out not go to waste. - Rizachar '08

[edit] More Pingry and Wikipedia

I've been looking around at other schools' wikipedia articles, and I think that we could do better with this one. I think that in any case student government should have the position of school Historian, whose primary role would be regular interview of the older faculty and recording of storytelling, as well as some research into past files, perhaps by rummaging though the old files in the archives. In any case. this guy might occasionally update this article with alumni, stats, etc. Just an idea. - Rizachar '08

[edit] Notable alumni

Lots and lots of Pingry alumni are in prominent positions, but I've tried to keep this list to those who would meet the Wikipedia criteria detailed here. Bruxism 01:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

The current list is too filled with vaguely accomplished figures along with very accomplished figures like Chertoff or Andrew McCarthy; just because someone is a musician in a band, fenced for the US, or wrote a book does not and should not mean they should be included on this list. For the sake of creating a clean and legible page the current list should be trimmed to reflect actually notable alumni. Crogle94 16:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
