Talk:Grant High School (Portland, Oregon)

message: I didn't put this in the article because I couldn't remember the name of the movie, but I know there was a movie shot at GHS. Anybody know the title, by chance? Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 03:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

message: To the creator: this looks like a good page, may I suggest using the infobox for high schools? You can find it here (there doesn't seem to be a template). Eixo 03:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I just added a stub for another Ulysses S. Grant High School (Valley Glen, California).  I would like it so that when someone types "Grant High School" in the search engine, it will give you a choice to go to the California GHS or the Oregon GHS and not just automatically direct you to the Oregon GHS.  Any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GHcool (talk • contribs) 19:03, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Grant High school doesnt offer German as an elective anymore.
But you can take it at night school at Benson.
So perhaps someone should take out the German in the language part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.202.132.152 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

message: There was a TV movie filmed at Grant during the spring break vacation of the 1980 school year I believe it was.  The name of the movie was "The Reunion".  They hired a whole bunch of students to act as extras in the movie.  I looked it up on IMDB once but forgot the name of the main actor.  Anybody?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.25.222 (talk) 08:13, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I have reviewed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28schools%29 , which contains the naming conventions for schools.  It appears completely proper to have the article's title be the full name as given by the school.  If anyone examines the crest, they will note that it says "Ulysses S. Grant High School" quite clearly, depsite containing the initials GHS.  There is no dispute that the school is called Ulysses S. Grant High School (and just Grant High School "for short").  So, unless anyone directs me to information saying that this sort of naming convention is incorrect, I think the official entry should be "Ulysses S. Grant High School (Oregon)."

message: This is what is listed currently under "Special Programs:" 
"Grant High School houses the last installment of the "Japanese Immersion Program", a 13 year immersion program, begun at Richmond Elementary and continued at Mt. Tabor Middle School. Ethnic composition: 41% African American, 40% Caucasian, 8% Hispanic, 1% Native American, 7% Asian, 3% Other.[citation needed]"
The ethnic composition of Grant would seem to be 41% African American, 40% Causacasian, etc, but this is not the ethnic composition of the Japanese Immersion Program. I believe the 2nd sentence belongs elsewhere to avoid confusion. The JMP (= Japanese Magnet Program) is racially diverse, however, with the Asian and Caucasian percentages higher.  The PPS website (pps.k12.or.us) would likely provide the citation needed and www.oyanokai.org will also support the existence of the JMP and it's continuation to Grant High School.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.214.213 (talk) 20:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I've removed the duplicate entry, as you could have done. He has an article to show notability, and his attendance is sourced in his article. That's all that is required to be listed as an alumnus. If you want to challenge the notability of the person in question, then the place to do so is on the talk  page for that person's article, or at WP:AFD. Either way, unless the bio article is deleted it has nothing to do with this article. Meters (talk) 21:27, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
