 * Keep - notable high school. This school was chosen to trial an innovative scheme to rent laptops to the students. TerriersFan (talk) 22:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep the one to one laptop program has resulted in the school receiving significant independent coverage. ~ Eóin (talk) 22:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into School District 34 Abbotsford I don't believe the sources provided are notable and a news search turns up only one article about a student who goes to that school winning some photo contest, no mention of laptop program. As such, I think it fails the WP:SCHOOLS notability criteria. Atyndall93  |  talk  08:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Aside from being a high school (generally notable as such), it has those sources. Who cares if the sources are notable; the thing is that they're reliable sources, and therefore valid and useable.  Nyttend (talk) 15:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable per TerriersFan.--Sting au  Buzz Me...   06:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Eóin and two reliable, independent sources that directly discuss the school. Double Blue  (Talk) 16:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - High schools are inheritantly notable if they have received coverage, as with the laptop program discussed above. Gdavid3 (talk) 19:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reason given above. this is one of a string of careless nominations for afd & prod, apparently made without attention to either the need to look for sources or the precedents at AfD.   DGG (talk) 00:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, school is notable and has received coverage through multiple non-trivial sources as such. (jarbarf) (talk) 21:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
