Picture
Can anyone take a picture of the front of the school? It would certainly add to the article.Muldoon X9 21:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Finance Academy?
Does LHS still have the Finance Academy thing (I think so)? For some reason user 72.88.42.119 keeps removing them.Andrewwski 01:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

-- Yea they do, im not involved in it but alot of my friends are in it. 72.88.42.119 is probably a student from another school cause they have been editing the page alot if u look at the history. --Theowningone (talk) 16:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

---A lot of people keep removing this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.228.140.125 (talk) 19:02, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Redskin
I'm going to remove the tidbit about the LHS mascot in the lead article. It's out of place. I'm also going to edit the sport section a little and see what I can do. EvaTheCarrier (talk) 00:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Picture
Does anyone possess, or know of, a picture of the front of the High School that exists in the public domain? It would be a excellent addition to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coasterlover1994 (talk • contribs) 03:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Reorganization
I think that it would be an excellent idea to reorganize the page to make it more informative. If anyone has any useful information (pictures, history, size of graduating class, amount of grads that attended college, etc.) please post it on the page, with citations if necessary. Thanks, and please help!Coasterlover1994 (talk) 23:41, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Athletics
Section appears VERY biased towards Lancaster, more neutrality would be effective. No citations are present, and it would be very useful if the information could be backed up by reliable third-party sources. Additionally, information about sports other than football is necessary for this page to be informative to readers. Coasterlover1994 (talk) 02:19, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Rewritten, but much expansion required. Coasterlover1994Leave your mark! 00:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Assessment
I am assessing this article for WikiProject Schools after a request, and giving it C / Low. The article's referencing is generally good, though there seems to be an overuse of primary sources i.e. the school website. Wikipedia articles should be written based primarily on secondary sources per WP:V/WP:N. In addition there is a lot of duplicate references to the same page, which is unnecessary, see WP:REFNAME on how to deal with one source being used multiple times. I would also recommend that this article use citation templates, see WP:CITET. On the article content, the lead is too short, it should introduce and summarise the article per WP:LEAD. The bullet point with the coordinates is not needed with the coordinates in the top right corner. The rest of the article has a lot on academics, but not much else, see WP:WPSCH/AG on further ideas for expansion. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 11:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
