• Keep. This article needs improvement, but this is a public high school with over 2,000 students, and virtually all high schools are generally considered to be notable enough to have articles of their own. I removed the paragraph in the article about stereotypes of the student body as unverified. --Metropolitan90 19:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Met90, plus I've added more relevance to the article. I have also found that this school was at the center of a debate on creation of a Gay-Straight Alliance on campus in 2005. I'll probably add this information too. ju66l3r 19:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Added GSA section to the school article. I think this really establishes notability due to recent events in the school district related directly to this school's club decisions. ju66l3r 20:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep. There's a whole WikiProject dedicated toward adding encyclopedic articles, and schools are included. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/High schools/US/Florida. --Nishkid64 20:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Thanks. I updated the WikiProject to redirect their Joe E. Newsome redlink to the school's page. One down...hundreds to go... :) ju66l3r 20:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as per above. Kukini 21:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep All above reasons.
• Keep — I think the article just slides in under the proposed WP:SCHOOL criteria. — RJH (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
