We should add the Boy's swim team's CIF championship this year. Also the boy's volleyball team is the CIF runnerup for their division.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.21.204 (talk) 04:22, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The list of alumni for Torrance High isn't too bad as far as notability goes, although they should all be verified (I just too a weed-whacker to one school's list, eliminating over a third of the names, including a hampster breeder, a pickle farmer, and a NASCAR fan!). Still, there's at least three or four that aren't that notable. BlankVerse 08:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I can take more, are there any requests of certain parts of the campus? The most photogenic parts of the school are the front and the senior patio, but I could get pictures of the junior quad or whatever you want when I'm walking around campus. I would like to get  a picture of the back of the gym, but the paint is looking very shabby and it has been egged recently. User talk:twigs
the back of the gym was recently painted at the end of december --Croc 05:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Looks like not.  Even though my friend that went to Torrance HS said she was told it was filmed there, http://www.seeing-stars.com/Locations/80sLocations3.shtml and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083929/locations both agree that Fast Times at Ridgemont High was filmed at Canoga Park High School, 6850 Topanga Canyon Blvd., at the corner of Vanowen Street, in Canoga Park, California, and Van Nuys High School, 6535 Cedros Avenue.  The Wild Life (which has the same creators as Fast Times) was filmed there though.  See the IMDb entry for Torrance High School for a full list.  I'm removing Fast Times from the article. --Closeapple 11:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I added alot of information and pictures to the page and I was hoping that someone might be able to take somemore pictures of the buildings at school, preferabbly the more historic ones suchas the Auditorium, Gym,and Library. I was also hoping if some one could write a better school history, because Torrance High turned 90 years old this september and the history is not even 90 words long. --Croc 05:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: +  	Is it just me or is the school history an almost identical paraphrasing of the Torrance High history page? Isn't that some sort of infringement? Twigs 22:35, October 13, 2006 (UTC)

message: Now looking over what I did to this article a year ago, it seems preposterous that other editors didn't call me on it. The whole article needs to be written, and probably 50% of the material needs to be cut as unencyclopedic cruft. Who cares what clubs there are at the high school? Not even university articles have those lists. I am going to head the effort, but right now I have several exams, so will not be doing huge revisions until the weekend.
