 * Keep All secondary schools are notable. From Google News Archive, I found this article and this article from The Bellingham Herald. Cunard (talk) 00:53, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per Cunard. Plenty of sports and other typical secondary-source coverage. 5,190 hits at Google News Archives. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep not all schools are notable; just most, including this one.  Them From  Space  01:24, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep absolutely! I look at a lot of articles for schools (because they are fertile territory for reverting vandalism). So I see a lot of good ones, and many poor ones. My inclination is to give school articles a bit of slack because they are often written by students who know how to write, but don't know what the concept of Wikipedia is all about. It's better to send the original author(s) some suggestions for improvement, plus some encouraging words, in order to educate them. Threatening to delete the entire page is harsh. This particular one is a bit above the average. -- Biglovinb (talk) 08:53, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep While the article has issues, the mantra that "AfD is not cleanup" applies here. Editing can fix these issues, and notability has been established above.  Bradjamesbrown (talk) 09:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as copyvio. Content is taken almost verbatim from official website, only changes appear to be changes from first-person to third-person. Example, history section is match to "our history" on website . No salvageable content; previous cleanups were undone by COI editor and in any event left article with no coherent content.

 * not speedy. I am simply rewriting or removing the copyvio, and anyone could have done the same.  I often do it for a clearly notable topic, if it's easy enough. In this case it leaves just a stub, but nothing wrong with that.  But it's odd nobody noticed till just now --it implies nobody checked the references--worse, it implies nobody read the article carefully, or checked the history, because, just as HW said, it gives extremely clear signs of being copypaste.  After the AfD, it could be protected if necessary, but it is not, because the COI ed. hasn't been here for months. .   DGG ( talk ) 18:29, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - contains a high school and sufficient sources exist, that can be added, to meet WP:ORG. TerriersFan (talk) 00:12, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
