[edit] Two schools?
huh? apparently there are two amherst regional high schools! it had the logo, town and colors of one, but the principal of the other! apparently both sports teams are called the hurricanes! what a coincidence! at first i though it was a big joke but then when i tried to find the real logo, i found out that there were two schools. will somebody please help!

No there is only one high school. I go there. So far as I'm aware of there isn't a logo for the High School if you would like the district web page is located at http://www.arps.org and the high school web page is http://www.arps.org/hs you may have gotten the high school and the middle school combined by accident Vcelloho 03:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Split articles?
I noticed that 95% of this article is about controversies at the school, and not the school itself. Since this is an encyclopedia format, could the article be broken into two? The one about ARHS should just give facts about the school, and maybe there could be another created dealing with the controversial issues (linked to the main article).
[edit] Survival Living
I added the Survival Living section because it's one of the things that makes ARHS unique, and is therefore notable. I don't have much in the way of documentation, and would appreciate it if a faculty member or more recent student than I could look it over. Septegram 19:38, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vagina Monologues
I didn't bother to search the history to see who said that The Vagina Monologues takes a "decidedly jaundiced(dubious assertion—see talk page) view of relations between men and women," but I removed it. It's justifiable to say that its views on gender relations are potentially controversial, maybe, but "decidedly jaundiced"? Sorry, but no. That's POV (see WP:Not) Justin Bailey 18:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Freshmen" Decision
This section is pretty POV and has some unsourced assertions. I'll see if I can tidy it up a little.

- Tweaked the section. It could still do with some sources, but I think it's an improvement. I removed such nonsense as the assertion that the word "freshman" is pronounced "freshmen," or that this (even if true) somehow changes the meaning from a "description" to a "label."

[edit] Academics
I get the impression that ARHS is really an exceptional high school in its preparation of its top students for college. The "Academics" section doesn't mention this, getting bogged down in Amherstisms like "a course on Gay and Lesbian Literature". I'm not sure where one would find numbers to support the claim that ARHS is an exceptional public high school, but some numbers must be out there. —Ben FrantzDale 19:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
