  • Comment: @AngusWOOF: These indeed appear to be two separate high schools. Both Green Run Collegiate and Green Run High are separately listed on the school district's website. Unfortunately I don't have the time to review the draft right now; would you mind reverting the "declined as a duplicate" review? Huon (talk) 22:18, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
