This site discusses a Baltimore County School that should not be deleted. Other high schools in this county have pages, and is just another page that talks about another school. If time could be given, the site will soon meet the requirements.

[edit] Improvements needed

Even though this article survived AfD, it needs more work to be a good article. Hereford students or alumni (and any others) interested in the article should be familiar with Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools and the policy discussion at Wikipedia:Schools before starting substantial edits. This article needs the following improvements:

• Images - somebody should take original photos of the school and upload them to Wikipedia Commons so one or more can be included in the article; images from the school website can't be used without written permission (See Wikipedia:Image use policy);
• Infobox - the most common infobox for U.S. high schools has been added, but it needs information for some fields;
• Structure - the article needs additional sections for History, Campus, etc., if verifiable information is available; most things worth mentioning in the lead should be expanded on in a section (e.g., "agriscience" could be discussed in Curriculum);
• Extracurricular activities - there must be something going on besides sports; student government, music and the arts, traditions, and other activities may be worth including if there are verifiable and reliable sources;
• External links - alumni association? PTA? School Board/County schools office?

I have changed the cleanup tag to expansion - cleanup is when there is a problem with the exisitng material whereas what you are asking for, and I agree, is additional material. TerriersFan 23:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I won't argue with you. It has been cleaned up some already. --Hjal 02:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do to revamp it. I've started to source some of the material, and I'll see about getting a picture. I went to Hereford and had a picture of it on its website, but it has been shrunk to the point that it wouldn't be of any use here, so I'll ask a friend if they can take a picture. And I'll be careful not to add anything POV/OR. —ShadowHalo 06:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
