This school does NOT serve "the archdiocese of New York," as Whispertome" added without explanation.
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York stretches through 10 counties of New York State, only four of which include Regis students. On the other hand, it does not include Northern New Jersey, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and Connecticut, all of which DO have Regis students. There are no geographic restrictions on Regis students.
Regis High School is administered by the Province of New York of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), an independent order of priests not answerable to the archbishop of New York.
In short, the Archdiocese of New York and Regis High School have nothing whatever to do with each other. I am completely confused as to why Whispertome removed perfectly accurate information, and replaced it with an irrelevant inaccuracy.Amherst5282 23:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regis Philbin
Regis Philbin did NOT attend Regis HS...look at his bios...he attended Cardinal Hayes HS!!!!! His FATHER attended Regis, and so named him....please STOP including him in the graduates' list!!!!

- Regis Philbin was named after Regis High School, due to the fact that his father went there.

- Regis Philbin's father did not attend Regis High School. Though he may make claims to the different, there is no record of his father attending the school. –Ua747sp 05:15, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of Colleges that Graduates went to
I'm not entirely sure if that should in the article. I'm curious what others opinions on the matter are. Yanksox 02:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Good point. It doesn't seem very relevant to the school in and of itself. You can make up a high-class list of colleges for nearly any school. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 02:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Also, it's really ambigious and can't be proved. I know a kid from my school that went to Yale, but that doesn't merit putting it up on that article and it means a whole bunch of other school articles will have to mention their Yale/Harvard/Brown/BC/(insert any college here) bound grads.

[edit] accuracy
Please, should the Regis High School page not include information that alumni have asked, most respectfully, for serious consideration of the concern that RHS does not admit young women -- nor (and more seriously) does it permit a discussion of this issue. I beg that you understand that this is not a political agenda, but (as the School's development office will attest) a significant conversation among us alumni, and perhaps indeed a matter for full disclosure to the public.
Grammar. Learn it.

[edit] archdiocese of new york
Please, if Regis High School's rulers, the Jesuits, do *not* have anything to do with the Archdiocese of New York (which means of course Cardinal Egan), then the Society of Jesus is again in violation of Canon Law and arguably of civil law.
If Regis High School is a Catholic school, and if it is in the Archdiocese of New York, then it is subject to the Archbishop's oversight. While some scholars (q.v. Burtchaell's DYING OF THE LIGHT) claim that the Jesuits maintain every vow except Obedience, Canon Law supercedes the wishes of people who would proclaim otherwise.
(My own perspective is that Regis' disdain for young women certainly qualifies it as Catholic!!)
Your friend, and alumnus of this high school,

Regis harbors no ill will toward young women: it was founded by an anonymous FEMALE benefactor. It was her stipulation that the school was to be single-sex education for boys. The school is simply continuing according to that initial form. And the Catholic church is far from disdainful of women. I have not the time, nor is this the place to qualify such an argument. chrisdlandry 156.145.100.124 23:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] REACH/ Extracurriculars
Cleaned up the grafs on admissons, REACH and extracurriculars and deleted Conor Henderson from the notable alumni. All legitimate changes,I believe.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RegisHSemblem.GIF
Image:RegisHSemblem.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 06:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
