message: None of the "notable alumni" appear to be notable from my google'ing. I would therefore suggest removing them. chowells 01:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You can find out who I am by visiting my user page. I am quite aware that google isn't everything, which is why I am requesting that you justify their inclusion. I'm not going to "leave it alone" and I suggest that you read Wikipedia:Consensus. Thank you. chowells 09:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

text: I'm afraid that a record producer does not sound particularly notable, and being friends of someone who is notable is not notable in itself. And that's one of them, what about all the others? chowells 09:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

message: NEW TOPIC:  The school came under fire last year for censorhip when the Principal denied the drama director to perform a play she had already approved.  It was in the newspapers around the area.  I believe it was worth putting up here, but I wanted your opinions before I go ahead with it. SovietChicken
I say go for it.  Sounds noteworthy.  Ms. Moake seems to come under fire alot.  - Eaton
Definitely mention the names of the musicals.  Urinetown was initially proposed as the spring musical, and when that plan was turned down like Bat Boy the previous year the far raunchier Cabaret was proposed and accepted. Syckls
It was a very controversial in the high school but really around the area, there wasn't that much news on it. In my honest opinion, you probably know more about this topic than most of the students who went to Homestead or are currently attending that High School. Are you referring to BatBoy or Urinetown?

message: :Image:HomesteadSeal.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: Reading some of the comments on this talk page, I can see how the corresponding article has degenerated into such a piece of crap.  This is not the school's page on Wikipedia, it is Wikipedia's page on the school!
There are guidelines for content for a school article.  Virtually none of this article is within them.  This page is not for posting accolades, sales pitches rah rahs or anything of the like.  It is for the reporting of verifiable factual information that has been published elsewhere.  This reporting is to be done in an encyclopedic style, and is to be written for the sole purpose of informing the English speaking world what is significant about this school.  
Being a student or an alumni or a staff member at this school gives you no more rights to this article than any other editor on Wikipedia.  As a matter of fact, it gives you somewhat less, because if you belong to those groups you have an inherent conflict of interest.  Pretty much, if it is something that the local population is interested in, it probably shouldn't be in the article.  The locals have all sorts of ways to find out what is up at the school.  This article is for Joe from Mississippi or Carol from Maine or Kumar from Bhopal to find out information that would be significant to them about this school.  I highly doubt any of them care what the name that was bestowed upon the halftime show in 2001 is.  They want to know what things of significance this school has accomplished.  They want to know when it was built, how many kids go there, who accredits it.  They want to know things that are significantly different about this school.  No-one but students or alumni give a hoot about most of what is in this article.  If you want to have an alumni site, get a webpage.  GoDaddy.com is ====> thataway.
We will begin rebuilding this soon. John from Idegon (talk) 21:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
