There are no indepent sources, this school has no evidence of being notable, and it also reads like an advertisement for the school Alright, so in response to the below commecnts: The fact that it is a highschool does not actually protect it from deletion if it does not meet notability standards, as per Notability (high schools) which also states that if information cannot be verified, then it may be challenged and removed from the article. As laid out is Notability (organizations and companies), to be notable the school's article must have depth of coverage, using reliable sources. These sources may not be self published. It also needs to have attention from media to a certain extent, but coverage should be from something more read than local media. This article does not have any international coverage, it does not cite any independent sources, and if I was to remove all uncited material this article would be a candidate for speedy deletion. I do know that lack of sources does not indicate that the subject is not notable, but I also cannot find any sources from my research. (Which I think answers the other objection, because I have looked and I cannot find any sources for this information other that the school's own website.) And as for my being a new user, that's why I keep messing up and making work more difficult for the bots, and I'm really sorry about that) FluffyKitty999 (talk) 01:59, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep and close High schools are generally held to be notable in and of themselves following a long standing consensus. Please direct any concerns about promotional tone to the talk page on the article.

 * Keep probably meets the speedy keep criteria as a POINTy nomination by a new account (likely an old user who just got so used to Twinkle they don't know how to transclude). That being said, it pretty easily meets the GNG. It receives coverage in To Russia with Love (one paragraph viewable via Google Books, the description of the event seems to continue into the next page. Google News also brings up a few mediocre hits, but I'm also assuming we don't have the entirety of the Anchorage Paper's archives (probably one of the regions of the US that it is hardest to find sourcing on). There are a few other mentions in Google Books as well. This is enough to get it to GNG for me at least in how we typically apply it to other secondary schools (even post-RfC, we tend to be more flexible here).
