 * comment, thanks, but it still doesn't make it notable. Wikipedia is not a directory. Chris 21:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

 * comment, then why would http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlands_Academy_of_the_Sacred_Heart be left alone? Do as you will or must.  We just wanted to be included.  I realize wikipedia is not a directory and did not put this entry in for any other reason than to have it recognized as a school in Colorado. -- Craig Janson 5:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * reply, first, the school that you bring up as an example is a high school, not a middle school as yours is. Second, the sourcing and the article itself bear that the Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart was founded in 1858. That makes it 150 next year, and predating the Civil War qualifies it for historical notability. Significant claims of notability include: famous alumni, historical importance, national attention or notoriety, unusual architecture, grounds, facilities, athletics, etc. Usually only high schools (or similarly-situated "top level" schools) are notable enough for inclusion, since a high school generally is a focal point of a community, especially in smaller towns. Middle and elementary schools are not inherently notable, and information should generally be included in the article for the district that operates it. Since yours is a private school and would have no district, the most it rates as written is a sentence or two in Castle Rock, Colorado Chris 06:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
