[edit] Old Vandalism

...looks like there's some old, unnoticed vandalism in the History section and elsewhere. --Theodore Kloba 20:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Is this really the school motto. I thought it was "Right Attitudes Mean Success." (= RAMS, the school mascot).

[edit] New Edit

...Added the fight song from Glenbard.net. Since GBE is a public institution, I believe that the quote is not copyright protected Js02 18:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Glenbardeast.gif

Image:Glenbardeast.gif 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Factual inaccuracies in description of Glenbard East High School in Lombard, Illinois (moved here from Wikipedia help desk)

Please make the following corrections regarding Glenbard East High School in Lombard:

Web site is www.glenbardeasths.org, not www.glenbard.net/Glenbard_East

Delete “surprisingly” from: “The regional Office of Education, the State Board of Education, and the North Central Association of Colleges and the Secondary Schools accredit Glenbard East High School, surprisingly.”

In 2005, Glenbard East had an average ACT composite score of 20.6 and graduated 85.9 percent of its senior class. The listing inaccurately states an ACT composite of 11 and a graduation rate of 46.3. These are wrong.


The staff is comprised of 190 teachers, not 181.

Average class size is 23, not 35.5

Ethnic diversity: White: 64.5 percent, not 11.6 Black: 9 percent, not 27.8 Asian: 10.1 percent, not 24.2 Native American: 0.8 percent, not 0.40 Hispanic: 15.5 percent, not 67.2

This information can be verified at www.glenbardeasths.org or on the state school report card, available at www.glenbard87.org. It's also available by calling (phone number removed for protection). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peg mannion (talk • contribs) 19:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I have made the corrections [1] and updated some numbers to 2007. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
