message: As a former student, i don't understand why this has such prominence in the article; i'm even more confused as to, when i posted something earlier that pointed out that many students see the senate as useless (once again, something i can certainly vouch for), it was removed. what happened to articulating both sides of the story? 76.21.210.67 07:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I (also a former student) am also not convinced that the senate needs to be mentioned. But saying that it's useless is expressing a point of view, which is discouraged at wikipedia (unless you have a reliable source which says that it is in fact useless). This isn't about "both sides of the story": the article never claims that the senate is useful, and so there's no need to present the opposing viewpoint that it's useless. Staecker 13:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

text: The student-faculty senate is a part of the school's official governing structure, which is unusual and therefore notable. Certainly more interesting than the frickin' class schedule. There are many interesting things that could be said about the effectiveness of the senate, but they would all constitute original research. Which is forbidden. 67.165.142.252 (talk) 05:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The Day of Silence section has absolutely no introduction. It just starts off with "There were also two protesters outside the school on the Day of Silence in 2005 who were never identified."
What does that mean? Someone needs to give context to the situation, if indeed the section should even be there. Dauthi (talk) 04:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: What are the guidelines for this?  I don't know that winning $10k at WoW qualifies and I'm tempted to remove.

replies: text: It totally qualifies. Any current student who had won 10,000 from any competitive activity (math, music, Intel, whatever) would qualify, don't you think? I can see a case for "noteworthiness of current students is not acceptable unless they deserve WP articles in their own right," but at anything short of that this qualifies. 67.165.142.252 (talk) 05:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well someone else took the section out and I must say I totally agree with them.  Winning money at a video game contest is admirable but not encyclopedic.  I guess if there were articles about the person in reputable press or gaming web sites, that might change things some, but a quick Google search doesn't bring up any really noteworthy news sources. willboston (talk) 17:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't know about others but I went to the annual debate tournament 4 years running and I never heard it called "Big Lex". Is that something new? --168.215.131.150 (talk) 19:34, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Just graduated: from what I've heard from debate friends, Big Lex certainly exists, and is, like the name, pretty big. As one of the largest high school debate tournaments in the country, should be fine to stay in. LHefferman (talk) 04:01, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

message: How is it that there's nothing about the history of the school?  It'd be great to include info on how the school and its facilities have developed over the years. 2001:1948:212:5610:A4A9:412B:AC4D:DC82 (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  History of LHS? 

message: I think that the section on the debate team is way too detailed. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a brag - o - pedia. For example, the section on novice achievements seems biased and over detailed. I think that the achievements of individual novice competitors are not enough to warrant mention, only significant varsity achievements at the national level should be important enough to be included.  I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.169.213 (talk • contribs) 17:28, May 31, 2014‎
:Agreed. The individuals are not notable and should not be mentioned by name per WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#WNTI 
:Can anyone source and date the statement  The closest I can come is a 2009 ref that says 33 years straight  so we need a ref for wins in 2010-2014. Meters (talk) 00:54, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Andrew Stephens, the current principal of LHS has accepted an offer to be the superintendent of the Lincoln-Sudbury school district. As such, Andrew Baker (the former associate principal of LHS) has taken up the interim position of principal.
I have updated the principal section accordingly. Also, I incorrectly wrote "Andrew Baker" instead of "Andrew Stephens" in my edit description, sorry if that was confusing. Waitblock (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: As of today, the school's website  https://www.lexingtonma.org/lhs/contact/ still lists Andrew Stephens. If Andrew Baker has already taken over as principal then provide a reliable source (and per consensus at the schools project we don't list interim principals in the infobox) Meters (talk) 03:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: As a current student I can confirm Andrew Baker is in fact, the interim principal and therefore should not be listed Antonyjrinaldi (talk) 01:45, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
