Haha, it's funny to see Troy in Wikipedia. The satellite image is cool. - Protokurios 02:08, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Troy

Haha, yeah. I saw schools like Stuyvesant and Andover had a nice page, and I wouldn't let us be shown up by them. Feel free to add to it!

Where did all the statistics come from (the rankings in California, etc)?

Most came from the school profile thing, which Troy actually puts out itself, it might be better to have a third party source or so, though, too. I'm not sure where the rankings came from, although Troy's site does have random statistics of Troy laying all over it. There's also this link C14 07:45, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] This article gives me the warm fuzzies

I randomly searched for Troy High School on Wikipedia and *poof*! There it is!

National Merit Finalists/Hispanic Scholars for 2006, SAT Scores, and Mr. Maruca (awwww) need to be updated. Additionally, the paragraph about AP Comp Sci should read "the best high school computer science program in the universe."

What happened to Mr. Maruca??? --EvilRobot69 19:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

He retried this year (2005-2006). Sad to see him go after all those years. Though, we still don't know who's gonna be the new principal. Probably Mr. MacIntyre. Excelblue
As long as it's not D'Amelia...although I miss the vice-principal he replaced a bunch. --146.165.82.239 17:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Just read up some things on the district website. New principal is going to be Mrs. Buchan, transferred from Buena Park High School. Ref: http://fjuhsd.k12.ca.us/documents/board/intouch_may_16_06.pdf. I don't think we should updated it though until the time comes. Excelblue 02:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Maruca retired? Whoa... that's frightening. Oh, and the class of '06 pales before the class of '05, thank you. --Jello 07:01, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Maruca, and also Fornell and Soroya (sorry if I messed up the spelling) retired.--Artega 04:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Fornell and Sawaya too? No wonder I can't recognize the schedules of current students, all the experienced teachers have retired! --Jello 00:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Troy High School, Michigan

I'm going to add another page about the Troy High School in Michigan. Michigan's THS has more National Merit Semifinalists than this school does, and has comparable standardized test scores, so it deserves an entry.

It does? "Troy High School had an incredible 22 National Merit Semifinalists, 2 Achievement Scholarship semifinalists& 9 commended students." from http://www.troycolts.org/troyhighannualreport.pdf. 39 > 22. And I believe the ACT is taken more in Michigan, so it makes sense that SAT scores are high (only motivated students take them). 129.59.32.153 08:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speaking as a non-student

There's nothing wrong with putting up a wikipedia page for your high school, and maybe it does give you the "warm fuzzies", but does it really need a long list of standardized testing and national merit scores here? To me, it seems like bragging. A few examples from recent years should suffice.

In fact, the whole article reads like it was copy/pasted from the school web site. Again, there's nothing wrong with being proud of your high school, but perhaps having a nice concise wikipedia page is also something to be proud of? Sayhar 02:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I went through and removed a lot of unnecessary content. Let me know what you guys think. EvilRobot69 04:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
