Something's peachy about the notable alumni. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.61.211.68 (talk • contribs)

Yeah, ummm, why hasn't that crap about South High been removed? --146.57.85.100 00:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Swimming section
definitely does not meet NPOV standards

Problems with this article.
This article is in serious need of a fix. Portions of the article are not written well, some parts are plagiarized and in all but two cases there are no in-text citations.

This article is in serious need of someone(hopefully an expert on the school and research in general) who has time on their hands to check each section for plagiarism of the school's website and add sources from reliable third-parties.

It almost seems as if this article was written by the high school students themselves. — Calebrw (talk) 21:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I may help with this article in the near future. First off, should the empty headers be deleted? -LelandRB (Chat · contribs) 01:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, they should I can't believe I didn't get rid of those. I'll do that now. Thanks, Calebrw (talk) 16:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, many problems. I think I've corrected most. I've parked the unsourced material (likely plagiarized) below. While it is clearly not acceptable for the article page, it might provide someone interested with a starting point for creating a new section with reliable sources.

Deleting parked sections
I parked sections here that are obviously cut and pasted from a school info website just as a precaution and to give someone a chance to improve the material with reliable sources. However, the parked sections are pretty long and I think can be deleted within a month if no one steps up to the task. Mnnlaxer (talk) 21:36, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Former Names
I tried to add a section about former names in the infobox, but I don't know how to cite it when it's in an infobox. I know of two former names for the school: Southwest Senior High School and Southwest Secondary School. Here is proof that the first name exists The second name, Southwest Secondary School is named on a plaque in the building for IB DP recipients. I can link a picture of it to the talk page if someone wants me to, but if someone would add the former names (at least the first one) to the infobox with the citation that would be nice.
