I'm removing this stuff about who the current basketball coach is because its so irrelevant Rowing88 06:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Nick Valensi of the Strokes didn't graduate from dwight school he graduated from NYC lab School
- I removed him and another of the Strokes. I kept most other names, even though better sources are really needed. Given the number of alum already listed, it's no great loss to lose a couple names. --Rob 21:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
I took off Vin Diesel for lack of sources. I hope to be able to add him back. He was born in NYC, which helps, but isn't quite good enough. --Rob 21:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Vin Diesel went to Anglo American which merged with Dwight later but was a separate school then. Here is a blurb about him from Dwight today a Dwight School publication
Mark Vincent (aka Vin Diesel), Anglo ’85 Outstanding Achievement Award Renowned Hollywood Actor/Director/Producer Mark Vincent attended the Anglo–American School along with his twin brother Paul Vincent. Mark wrote, produced, and acted in a short film called Multi Facial, which was selected for screening at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. Steven Spielberg saw the film and created a role specifically for Mark. http://www.dwight.edu/data/files/gallery/PublicationsDownloads/Dwight_Today__Spring_2006.pdf

[edit] Quotes
What about the quotation marks that were placed on the canopy above the main entrance as graffiti, i.e. The Dwight "School"? I don't know if that's verifiable though. CoolGuy 00:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dwight Anti-Drug Program
The Dwight Anti-Drug Program has been copied all over New York, and its been quite successful. The school doesn't try to hide its past either - most people are proud of the progress Dwight has achieved over the years - A Dwight Alum 216.182.14.18 14:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Paris Hilton
I do not think that Paris Hilton can be considered as a notable alumni. I understand how famous she is but I don't think the school can be very proud of her. "Hey, in my school studied Paris Hilton" I don't think the headmaster would EVER say that (UTC)
- She is now a major celebrity in the popular culture, globally--Gkklein 00:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Faculty
I removed the section claiming that almost all Dwight Faculty have ivy league degrees. That is unlikely to be true and I found no evidence to support that assertion anywhere. Master shepherd 17:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding the School Symbol
Right so a few months ago this article contained the school's logo in the top right corner. Does anyone know what happened to it and does anyone have the power to restore it?
