Eric Emmerson single handedly brought down the anti semitic conspiracy ramapant in early part of this decade at Kinkaid at the behest of long time friend and mentor, Callie Law, a Kinkaid champion of equality and tolerance.
Unable to find any evidence that Will Reedy, socialite, is a notable person. No offense intended, Will Reedy. :-) Andicat 22:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
This article ought tocrudKinkaid School" (lose the "The"). I know it's in the Seal and all, but see Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Avoid the definite article ("the") and the indefinite article ("a"/"an") at the beginning of the page name: "If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the page name. [...] Otherwise, do not include it at the beginning of the page name."
Kinkaid's own site omits the "The" in running text. -- Mwanner | Talk 13:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
I sent an e-mail to St. John's School about the vandalism from the school's address. I'll try sending the same e-mail to more St. John's e-mail addresses. WhisperToMe 00:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notable alumni
Most of the Wikipedia articles about schools list notable alumni. This one does not. As an alumnus I am reluctant to select members of my own graduating class - I might be biased.
William A. Blattner is a noted researcher on HIV. I believe he graduated 3 years after I did.
George W. Bush attended 8th and 9th grades at Kinkaid but graduated from another school. Scott Tillinghast, Houston TX (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Student Activities
I think it'd be good to have more background about student activities, which are by and large competitive and considered good. The debate team is nationally competitive in both Cross-Examination and Lincoln-Douglas debate (recently got first and second in the state tournament, respectively), and the orchestra and bands are also excellent.
I would write the section myself, but I know very little about writing articles/ sections (specifically citations and links). Baseballbaker23 (talk) 00:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
