there is a school sidebar template. use it.

template

I added quite a bit of information, but it does not fit with the template. I also cannot find much history on the school.

contact information

edit

I have removed the contact information for the adminstrators because the WikiProject Schools page says that "Generally timeless information (such as published teachers) is preferred over transitory information." Earlopogous 22:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

"Notable" Alumni

edit

I was at the high school at the same time as three of the so-called "notable alumni." Calling a person 'award-winning' or 'upcoming' without further explanation or providing a source does not qualify anyone as "notable." The notable alumni section is for people who are "notable" in the sense defined by WP:NOTABILITY. The fact that other school entries also include non-notable alumni does not justify putting non-notable alumni here. I might call myself "upcoming trial lawyer" or "award-winning basketball player." Both would be true, but neither makes me notable.

I think that Greg Bluestein should absolutely be included. https://www.ajc.com/staff/greg-bluestein/. If the dude from Dukes of Hazard is on here, Greg should totally be on this list.

Should those people ever become truly notable, they may be re-added to the page. Otherwise, the notable alumni page should be reserved for the truly noteworthy.Niremetal 03:24, 4 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

For the sake of clarity, the alumni I was referring to are Lisa Zimmerman, Alan Gilmer, and Jason Geigerman. I have removed all three of their names from the section. Niremetal 03:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. A couple hints on this point: 1) If a Google search for your name turns up absolutely nothing about you, you're not notable; 2) someone isn't noteworthy just because they made some money on the stock market and are in charge of a company no one's heard of. So yeah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.244.83 (talk) 00:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sandy Springs or Atlanta?

edit

Currently, this Wikipedia page says the school is located in Sandy Springs AND Atlanta. Which is correct? 12.30.109.2 (talk) 06:07, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

When it was first opened, the area was considered unincorporated Atlanta. Since Sandy Springs became it's own city in 2005, it is now considered to be Sandy Springs. 2601:C4:8301:CEB0:110E:5D72:1E19:8ED8 (talk) 21:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
