I doubt this is notable. At any rate, it only mentions alumni, and it's poorly written and not citede/ El aprendelenguas (talk) 03:02, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Speedy keep. "Poorly written" is not a valid reason for deletion.  "Not cited" is also not a valid reason for deletion but you could put a CITE tag on it.  So we're left with "I doubt this is notable".  There isn't a consensus about whether schools are inherently notable or not, but Wikipedia tends to be kind to scholars and educational institutions--I'd personally argue that a high school is notable in its own right.-- S Marshall   Talk / Cont  03:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note--recommendation changed to speedy keep because it's snowing.-- S Marshall  Talk / Cont  16:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep due to the invalidity of the reasons offered by the nominator ("poorly written and not citede"[sic]) and as S Marshall said there is no consensus as to if schools are notable (or criteria to define their notability), that leaves this completely up in the air, but past precedent seems to indicate that schools are notable. ~ Ame I iorate U T C @ 03:33, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - we delete when pages can't be sourced not, as here, when they can but haven't yet been and there are plenty of sources to meet WP:N. Unusually large number of notable alumni, in addition. TerriersFan (talk) 03:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong keep Notable, just needs expansion sources and a major cleanup on the alumni section. Red  Thunder  11:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep lots and lots of coverage on Google News, ensuring notability for the school, and a considerable amount of verifiable content. For example, the school's band has played at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando at least twice and perform nationally. EJF (talk) 14:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
