Please try to be less self-promotional, use proper English, etc. Vanity pages aren't pretty. Janet13 7 July 2005 18:12 (UTC)


Continuing to pull out the vanity stuff. Not everything that has ever happened to the school should be documented here - this is not supposed to be an advertisement for the school. Put your efforts into getting that information logged on the school website, which *is* linked off of the article. Janet13 05:25, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comments on Crutchfield

"This great step was made possible by former principal, Ms.Carnes. As of the 2004/2005 school year, the principal is Gloria Crutchfield. This transition of power has been generally regarded as a bad move and, at a March 2005 meeting, some parents were outraged over some of Crutchfield's administrative decisions [1]."

I removed this segment from the page. I don't feel like it really belongs on Wikipedia - Wikipedia is not a place for someone to air out their disagreements with people, and the documentation is weak at best (link to original article is broken) and I feel that we may be missing context. If someone can explain to me why this should return to the mainpage, I will put it back. Mostly, I am uncomfortable with the phrasing and the citation. ("generally regarded as a bad move," and "outraged" don't sound very NPOV to me; forum boards are always a bit suspect as references.) Janet13 05:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

" Contraversy Prior to the 2004/2005 year, Suncoast was under the leadership of Kay Carnes, former principal. Many regarded her with a great deal of respect due to her ability to turn Suncoast from a fledging school segregated de facto into one of the nation's top Magnet schools. During her adminstration, she had a top-notch theatre and science wing built. To the dismay of many, she took her leave in 2004. Filling the position was Gloria Crutchfield, former principal of Roosevelt Middle. Ever since she has acquired her new position, many have been upset by her brash, irrational leadership skills, such as manipulating club and school schedules as well as interferring with programs that have been running successfully for over a decade. She also refuses to return phone calls, e-mails, faxes, letters, and other communication of the like. A miniscule minority of people believe she is doing a good job. For more information, see Rate my teachers: Suncoast High " Removed this today, once again, for lack of citations and NPOV. Please de-POV and add citations to someplace more reputable than a forum site before it gets returned to the article. Janet13 04:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy section gets worse

I tagged it but don't have time to work on it now. NPOV, weasel words, you name it. Someone help? Janet13 04:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brian Murray

I'm adding the reference to Brian Murray back. The title given to him is 2006 Network of Educators in Science and Technology Distinguished Teacher Award. The press release is no longer on the School District of Palm Beach County website, but can at least for now be viewed at http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:s2zHEg7XryEJ:www.palmbeach.k12.fl.us/publicaffairs/PressReleases.htm I'll leave the citation to someone with more experience than I, who can hopefully find a permanent link.

[edit] School Band

Since when is the School band part of Athletics? As well, it seems like noting that they were "invited to london by the british government for the 2007 new years day parade" seems highly self-promotional, as well I ponder if that's true considering they can't even bother to capitalize.
