[edit] Signal Hill Elementary School

If an article is ever created for Signal Hill Elementary School, note that page is a Wikipedia:disambiguation page with six other Signal Hill Elementary Schools. A very minimal substub was created for Signal Hill Elementary School (Signal Hill, California) which has survived a deletion nomination. BlankVerse 06:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stonewall Jackson High School

I find it strange that every high school in the county has an article EXCEPT Stonewall, yet there is a disambiguation page listed separating it from another school in the state. (that page is linked on the Osbourn Park page linked on this article) Could the article have been deleted? I have no idea how to check this, but someone with more experience than me should take a look...JamesBenjamin 02:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Not sure, James! I'll get a stub up there and maybe people will run with it!

[edit] "Hard to Believe"

The comment "it's hard to believe anyone wikis their schools" was left in this space anonymously.

I've taken the liberty of removing it from floating in space and adding a heading. As for "wiki-ing" schools, everyone has their passions. Some people wiki football, others a particular movie star, others still create articles on everything from thermodynamics to the Muppets. For those of us who are passionate about education and schools - particularly those of us who have dedicated our careers and lives to the field - often practice the same rigorous standards of research, citation, transparency, and communication that we preach. I find it hard to believe anyone DOESN'T want to wiki their school... but to each his/her own!

[edit] Name Change Coming?

While I'm not going to post it in the article itself, it is apparently being discussed. Word has it (and I can't cite a source yet) that county officials are discussing dropping the word "Public" from the "official" name of the division, to make the county's proper name reflect the ubiquitous "PWCS" acronym.
