Hi there. I'll be leaving this message on several peoples' talkpages. Please take the time to read the links I am providing before you continue to edit. I do not want to see anyone blocked from editing, but your edits are highly problematic and blocks are likely if things don't change.

First of all, the article consisted mainly of blatant violations of copyright. It looks like you have just been copying and pasting from the school's website, which you absolutely cannot do.

Second, the overall tone of the article failed to adhere to Wikipedia's policy about neutral points of view. It read more like an advert than an article. We aim for articles on Wikipedia to have a scholarly tone, which leads us to:

Third, the article is only referenced to the school's website. I understand that this happens from time to time. But everything written on Wikipedia must be verifiable, by citing reliable sources. Basically, you should look at editing Wikipedia the same way you should look at writing essays for your teachers: they must be scholarly, and they must be referenced.

Fourth, the article was far, far too detailed, which (again) makes it sound like it is promotion.

Please click the links above to learn about Wikipedia policies and procedures. I have also provided a bunch of links below which should help you out. If you would like to speak to me, just reply to this message on this page. I have it on my watchlist (your watchlist is here) and will see when you reply. — The Potato Hose 00:08, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
