Talk:Juneau-Douglas High School

message: JDHS (and whatever school served as its predecessor) has been around long enough to where I shouldn't have to ask this, but:
* There is no mention as to whether Juneau High School prior to 1927 is considered a direct ancestor.  I'm personally aware of mentions of "Juneau High School" going back as far as 1903.  I would have to think there is a direct relation, considering that other high school pages in Alaska encompass a direct lineage of related and similarly named institutions (e.g. Anchorage High School -> West Anchorage High School and Fairbanks High School -> Lathrop High School).
* I would personally like to know as to whether the notable alumni section is for actually notable people, or people with dubious celebrity value.  If so, there are dozens of people who deserve to be mentioned above Bristol Palin.RadioKAOS (talk) 09:16, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: On that note, there have been far, far too many notable graduates over the past century-plus since to list right now.  Unless, like I allude to above, you're only capable of confusing notability with celebrity like so many other people, and you're going to tell me that none of them really matter.  From all accounts, the very first notable graduate of J(D)HS was Crystal Snow, class of 1905.  There are numerous sources (albeit sketchy or conflicting) which refer or otherwise point to Snow's older brother.  If this really was him that the sources were talking about, he was noted throughout the first half of the 20th century for his lyrical adaptation of "Maryland, My Maryland", which was recognized by the Pioneers of Alaska as Alaska's official song, prior to "Alaska's Flag" being adopted as such by the territorial legislature.

thread_title: Questions

message: The "Bong Hits For Jesus" thing was certainly important, but reading the current article, you would tend to have the impression that this was all that JDHS was known for.  I think it qualifies as an undue weight issue to give that much space to that issue versus anything else.  No, it's not my job to tell you what I'm talking about.  Get some perspective first.RadioKAOS (talk) 09:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oh yeah 

message: Although important in it own right, the issue has no place as the only history of Juneau-Douglas High School. I have removed it, as it has been well over 2 years since the last objection, and there are no arguments in support of it remaining.
It still has the referral in the external links section.Wicks Steve (talk) 11:33, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: When I first read this talk-page comment, I had no idea what it was talking about. A disciplinary action taken by the school that was disputed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court is absolutely relevant and should be discussed (or at least clearly mentioned) in the article about the school. There is currently no clear mention of it in the article. The description in the article about one of the external links is completely vague about what the linked article is talking about: "MSNBC article about banner case"? – what the heck does that mean? What does "banner case" mean? Under "Notable alumni", there's a mention of a student who was involved in a Supreme Court case, but no mention that the case had anything to do with the school. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:06, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. A Supreme Court case concerning the school's actions certainly should be covered. Meters (talk) 19:26, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: A paragraph under § History and symbols could work. The history section used to be entirely information about the case, but over the years it was removed because editors at the time felt it was a bit much and may have over-corrected when removing it. I agree that the external link referring to it as the "banner case" is a bit unhelpful, though. It's better known as the "Bong Hits For Jesus" case, or simply by its case name Morse v. Frederick. 〜 Askarion ✉ 20:56, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Juneau Douglas High School's official name has been changed to Juneau-Douglas Yadaa.at Kalé High School. Should this page be moved? --24.69.133.124 (talk) 22:34, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:COMMONNAME, particularly WP:NAMECHANGES. The name was only changed last year. and it appears to be  a mouthful. Are reliable sources using the full name? Meters (talk) 22:44, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

text: It's not clear that anyone actually uses the new name. JDHS has been JDHS for 115 years before the recent name addition. Move reverted. Jclemens (talk) 04:48, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to note that the cited source (from 2019) says the new name is "Juneau-Douglas: Yadaa.at Kalé High School", but that appears to have been incorrect. Another 2019 media source,https://www.ktoo.org/2019/01/09/whats-in-a-name-after-student-push-juneau-douglas-high-school-adds-tlingit-name-yadaa-at-kale/, a 2024 media source,https://www.juneauempire.com/opinion/my-turn-consolidating-into-one-modestly-sized-high-school-is-best-for-juneaus-students/ the school and the school board,https://jdhs.juneauschools.org/ the Alaska Department of Education, https://education.alaska.gov/compass/ParentPortal/SchoolProfile?SchoolID=220070 and the NCEShttps://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&ID=020021000133 use the name "Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé" (although the NCES has incorrectly spelled "Kalé" as "KalT". Whether we move this or not, it appears that the recent attempt to move it to "Juneau-Douglas: Yadaa.at Kalé High School" was incorrect.  Meters (talk) 19:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
