This page is being nominated for deletion because it contains practically no content (actually even less than the previous nomination) and this issue has been longstanding (since 2010). The reason the previous nomination was denied is because the contributor said that all high schools are inherently notable, but schools are *not* inherently notable under WP. This page should be deleted. Alphachimera (talk) 16:58, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. The longstanding community consensus is that high schools are presumptively notable; that is, there are assumed to be sources available, even if not in the article, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Five minutes of searching revealed a couple of admittedly lightweight mentions in Haaretz articles and a paywalled Miami Herald article about Ben Johnson's visit to the school. I'm sure a more comprehensive search of Israeli material will reveal more (at the very least, I presume there's some comparative data about high school performance and the like put out by the appropriate governmental agencies there), and I see no reason to make this an exception to our generally permissive high school article inclusion standards.

 * Keep as a high school. No reason to think that sources cannot be found to meet WP:ORG. We keep high schools for very good reasons; not only do they influence the lives of thousands of people but they also play a significant part in their communities. Expansion not deletion is the way to go with such stubs. The Whispering Wind (talk) 19:24, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I like High Schools. They are used by a ton of folk, the community as well, and encourage youngsters to come in as editors when they see their page on the site. Well worth a vote. scope_creep talk 19:46 28 October 2013  (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES & Notability (high schools). Northamerica1000(talk) 00:04, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep. Per above. --Epeefleche (talk) 04:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, secondary schools are generally considered to be inherently notable under long-standing precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
