It is important that century high school parents know who their son’s(daughter’s) counselor is. This article is skewed way too much towards the band and drumline, and a little bit of sports, with not enough info about the school itself. I don't go here but someone else should expand it. --Liface 22:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

That's because the only people who really go on this site are the band geeks ;-) Me being one of them. Another point is, (at least on the varsity sports) we don't do too well. Our sports are being switched to a lower division. The wrestlers do well in the current division, so they aren't happy. Other then the wrestling though, we lose. We lost our homecoming game against Liberty High School. Liberty (Whose mascot is the falcon) has been discribed as "the only bird of prey without a victim" by the school newspaper. The band and drumline are what make the school proud. The school itself is nine years old, there isn't much to say. The first ten year anniversery will be this year. Being that it is usually band geeks who are on here, we will try to put more about other aspects of the school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.51.50 (talkcontribs)
Hmm, surely you know more info about the school other than the specific details of the band though? I mean, it just looks a little weird to have every intimate thing the band is doing while the other sections are blank. I think either the band section needs to be summarized and condensed or the other parts need to be expanded.

While it is true that we are leaning toward the arts, that's because that's what I'm informed of. I'm kind of out of the loop as far as sports are concerned. And if you want to know the truth, we aren't that good, so threr's nothing rally phanomonally big to report. We are being moved to a lower division, and I will try to get stats this year, but if I can't please don't get mad at me, I'm the one who updates this. 24.21.51.50 05:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm the only one who updates this. I shouldn't type so fast.24.21.51.50 05:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand. I'm pretty much the only real contributor to my college's page. The word will get out eventually. Tell your friends to help you out or something. --Liface 16:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up and other issues

I just did a major overhaul of this article. Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a bulletin board or random collection of info. Think like this: if this was an entry in the Encyclopedia Brittanica, what would it look like? The other major issue with this article is the lake of sources from reliable sources. Without reliable sources (the Wikipedia defenition) this article would not survive a deletion debate. Many articles about high schools in Oregon have been put up for deletion lately, so if you want the school article to remain, please provide sources. There should be plenty in The Oregonian.
