Comment: I removed a couple bits. The student of the year bit and the recap of conference championships are both unencyclopedic. It's been the community consensus for many years not to discuss achievements lower than state championships in US high school articles. And a list of students of the year is of no use to anyone outside the school's community. If any of those people ever become notable they could be added to a list of notable alumni. The only bit that you have any independent secondary sources for isn't even about this school; it's about the school district. It would be my suggestion that you rewrite this draft and make it about the school district. The notability requirements for school districts are not as stringent as the requirements for an individual school. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 23:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
