[edit] Environment

I want to describe the overall environment of the school and take a look into the student/student & student/teacher interactions of the school. I believe some demographic statistics and perhaps a look into some of the gangs that are present in the school would be pertinent. All bout Money (ABM) is a gang that originated at OSH along with Money Power Respect (MPR), The Snows, and The Jumpers. Also, larger populations are present such as Crips and The Bloods. Any thoughts? --Liamdunaway 20:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The only issue with that is that it's encylopedic and possibly heresay. Also, there is no way to verify the truth of this (though you may know it's fact). Unless there have been any articles about these problems in particular you can't do much. Though, I am willing to assist you, I've been trying to clean alot of high school articles to better standards. If need anything leave a message on my talk page. Yanksox 20:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Athletic list + Extra curlics.

Is it just me or does it seem unnecessary? I'm judging off other decent high school articles like this. Yanksox 21:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Ya, I'll kill it.
  • Actually, I think the club list is good for now, but I see no need for the sports.

[edit] Personal Vendettas

I don't know how it started, but please take it somewhere else now. I'm trying to get serious about this wiki but I can't when everyone makes this page their own bashing ground, increasing the risk that this page will be deleted. Please, if you don't have anything that will contribute to the school, then don't put it on here. -User:GIShaneXC
