- Well, high school is where most people start doing notable things, and since most high schools have lots of students over the years, something notable usually turns up. They're like small towns with high rates of population turnover. Any given high school has an alumni population on the order of 50,000. And that doesn't include the usual spate of newspaper articles on the school itself. SolidPlaid 23:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- But that makes most or almost all of them notable then. Why not say all high schools are automatically notable then?--Victor falk 23:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- Because a small, recently opened high school might not be notable. SolidPlaid 19:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
