The state championship piece needs editing. It should read Girls Volleyball: 2005
I think the Tommy Siegel as an Alumni is inaccurate. He did not write the Mammoth Cheese, and I'm fairly certain he's not a member of the Transiberian Orchestra.
I think Freshman basketball should be removed as a state champion. Freshman teams are obviously not part of the VHSL state tournaments as they are not varsity teams, they are not even junior varsity teams, and even JV teams don't have VHSL state tournements. If people want to make a heading to address the inane achievements of freshmen teams, they should create another header for that purpose.
"Douglas S. Freeman High School is a well known and highly respected high school." - This information is subjective. Where does that come from?
"...Freeman (1886-1953), who was long the editor of the Richmond News Leader." - is this grammatically correct? At the very least, it's awkward.
"The Commentator (the newspaper)...The Educator (the literary magazine)...The Historian (the yearbook)..." - The parenthesis need to refer to the school (i.e. "school newspaper" not just "the newspaper")
"Since 1980, Freeman High School has had an intense rivalry with nearby Mills E. Godwin High School." - subjective.
"The two schools meet during the regular seasons of all sports (which causes sellouts, intense crowding and taunts from both teams)". - evidence?
"This rivalry has also been known to extend into debate, individual events, and quizbowl." - again, refering to this rivalry and content to just say "has been known." If there is a rivalry, does it, or does it not extend into these events and how can it be proven?
"The Girls Cross Country team of 2006, recently placed third at the VHSL State Meet." - date needed. When did they place? Yesterday? A week ago?
"...and Mrs. Bridget Reichert Students at the Center..." - punctuation, maybe a period and/or a line break between "Reichert" and "Students". Also this is poorly worded. Do all the students at the center do the things listed, or are these just the goals of the center? Where is this information coming from?
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Time-DouglasFreeman.jpg
Image:Time-DouglasFreeman.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Weight Room
There needs to be something on here about the weight room. Isn't it the most expensive high school weight room on the east coast or something? Ticallion (talk) 14:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
