Edit request
Please change "Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School was established in 1966. It is named after the second bishop of Syracuse, John Grimes.[3]" to "Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School was established in 1966. It is named after the second bishop of Syracuse, John Grimes.[3] Initially built to educate students in grades 9-12, the school presently serves the needs of students in grades 7-12. Historically, Bishop Grimes has educated students from nearly every public school district in Onondaga County and every Catholic parish in Central New York. Today, Bishop Grimes also serves students in Oswego Country. Students come from numerous cultural and religious traditions, and the school welcomes students from countries around the world. Current and past students have come from Egypt, Guatemala, Philippines, Thailand, Greece, Congo, Italy, Canada, Korea, France, Bahrain, Russia, the Netherlands, South Korea, the Gambia, Sudan, Vietnam, India, Japan, Pakistan, China, and Poland.

Today, the school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, which recognizes Bishop Grimes’ dedication to providing educational excellence in a faith-based environment within a culture of continuous improvement. Bishop Grimes seeks to prepare young men and women for college, career, and life within the context of the Catholic faith. Bishop Grimes offers a full New York State Regents curriculum, honors, and Advanced Placement courses, as well as courses in theology, business, technology, music, and art. Bishop Grimes students have the opportunity to participate in college-level courses through Le Moyne College.

Beginning in March 2018, Bishop Grimes became an official candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Organization’s Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. This designation means that the school is pursuing authorization as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education – that the school believes is important for our students. As a candidate school, Bishop Grimes Jr./Sr. High School has begun to implement the standards, practices, and curriculum requirements that are hallmarks of the IB programmes. In addition, students will still be required to meet the requirements for a New York State Regents or Advanced Regents diploma.

The Board of Trustees and the administration of Bishop Grimes Jr./Sr. High School is very pleased to have achieved candidacy status and to be able to offer the outstanding academic and extracurricular activities that come with this candidacy designation to the students and families of the school. Upon successful authorization, Bishop Grimes will be the only Catholic school in the surrounding area to offer both the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme to its students. The IB curriculum is globally recognized as one of the premier college preparatory programmes for students. The mission statement of all IB programmes is “to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.” For further information about the IB and its programmes visit http://www.ibo.org."

 * Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to which claim statements in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests it is important to highlight in the text, through the use of ref tags, which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim. The point of these inline ref tags is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point will be lost if the ref tags are not clearly placed. Note the examples below:

 The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

References

1. Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2019, p. 1.

In the first example above there is one reference provided, but the claim statements do not contain ref tags indicating which part of the text this source applies to. Your edit request similarly provides only one reference, and the text does not indicate where that reference belongs. These links between material and their source references must be more clearly made, as shown in the next example below:

 The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

References

^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2019, p. 1. ^ Harinath, Paramjit. (2019) "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46. ^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2019, p. 2. 


 * In the second example above, the links between the provided references and their claim statement ref tags are perfectly clear. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.

 * , even with proper sourcing, I'd oppose that change as too promotional. We'll not discuss the school's mission statement in any way unless it is tge subject of significant discussion in reliable secondary sources. See WP:MISSION. Any statement of primacy, achievement, importance, shame, praise etc., must have reliable secondary sources. All we can source to the school are undisputed and indisputable facts. The edit is full of WP:PEACOCK and WP:PUFFERY. John from Idegon (talk) 02:46, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
