This is a valid stub and certainly should not be deleted. All High Schools should have the opportunity to build a page, hence the WikiProject. Whoever nominated this for speedy deletion has made an error in judgement.EagleFan 16:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

According to WP:Schools the notability criteria for schools is as follows:

Editors may consider a primary or secondary school to be best handled in a separate article if it verifiably meets at least one of the following criteria:

1. The school has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself, including published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, television documentaries, and public reports by schools inspection agencies and consumer watchdog organizations,1 2 3 that meet all of the following criteria:

• The coverage is of value in building an encyclopedia (which excludes sources such as newspaper articles that simply mention the school in passing, or directories of schools that offer nothing more than demographic data, or lists of alumni that offer no content other than lists of names or years).
• The work is independent of the school itself. Works published by the school itself or its staff, students, or faculty, are generally excluded.
• The work is sufficiently reliable to support the facts in the article.

1. The school has alumni (plural) who are notable according to WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC.
2. The school is distinctive in any one of the following areas, or in any other areas for which it has received press or other coverage:

• Age
• Curriculum (Academics in U.S.)
• Architecture
• Awards
• Events that have occurred at the school
• Extracurricular activities, including sports

Articles about schools that do not meet the above criteria may be unexpandable save for demographic data. Wikipedia is also neither a directory nor a phonebook. School articles should not merely list upcoming events, phone numbers, schedules etc. Such articles should be merged into an article about their parent community or school district. See Wikipedia:Places of local interest for more suggestions for dealing with such articles.

The current article makes no assertion of notability but simply states that the school exists and thus I added the appropriate template. I do not feel that I made a mistake in adding it in its current state. Stardust8212 16:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
