Talk:South Oak Cliff High School

Alumni without articles
From a page in The Dallas Morning News online sports section, here is a list of SOC grads who made a name in sports; I've removed from the list all the entries who already have Wikipedia articles. Someone might want to make stub articles for these folks, as they are at least minor notables, but make sure not to link to a name without making sure it's the right person, as so far there are two of these who share the name of UK footballers (= soccer player): Lawikitejana 16:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I've now updated the list above, removing three people who now have articles (Tim Collier, Oscar Roan, and Durwood Roquemore). The remainder should be restored to the SOC article when and if they receive WP entries of their own.Lawikitejana (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Update on AYP status?
The last mention of the school's status regarding Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is some five years old. We should update the article to indicate whether or not they returned to "academically acceptable," or whatever their status has been in the intervening years.
