Talk:Lake Highlands High School

The Location of the Page

I think it better to keep it with the (Dallas, TX) tag on the end in order to help resolve any ambiguity problems in the future and also because most other high schools have the city and state tag. Consistent formatting of similar pages makes it so that people are better able to find them. Humanperson 02:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Appears to be some tampering with the name of the stadium. LH was defeated in the last match. Ttchiem 20:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Other important faculty from the past

Someone should add something about Malcolm Helm. He was the band director who succeeded Eddie Green. He married one of the teachers at LHHS, and very tragically died after a battle with cancer a few years later. I believe there is now at least one scholarship/foundation grant in his name (in addition to being a hall of famer -- see above link). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bikelane austin (talk • contribs) 22:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

Chris Young

Can someone tell me if this is the Highlands High School that Chris Young (baseball pitcher) attended.? Please respond to my talk page. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 19:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Notable alumni and conflicts of interest

I added a couple of tags to the section of the article titled "notable alumni". It seems to me like some of the people listed in the section do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Furthermore, it seems likely that some of the people on the list added themselves or were added by close friends, creating conflicts of interest in which names may have been added to the list simply out of vanity rather than to improve the encyclopedia.

Wranglers' London performance

The article previously stated that the Wildcat Wranglers would perform in "this year's New Year's Day Parade in London". I changed this to "performed in the 2008 New Year's Day Parade in London", because I presumed that "this year" referred to New Year's 2008 based on the date it was added, but I would really appreciate it if someone could confirm that 2008 is the correct year and that they did indeed appear in the parade. Thanks. Andrea Parton (talk) 00:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

notable alumni

A neutral point of view is clearly being expressed. "Notable alumni" is not in any way a biased or promotional duo of words. Is it not a truth that the notable alumni are well known? In turn, is it not thus a fact that a wide-standing group of people would recognize the name (i.e.) "Justin Leonard" or "Darvis Patton"? I commend the wiki-geeks for their capital attempts to present a website with a state of pure fact and indifference to any subject, just as any newspaper or encyclopedia would strive toward, but this hunger for the world to be knowledgeable through the simple and factual emissions of the text and diction of a website can be no more lucidly displayed, so free of ambiguity, and so appealing to the insightful (or to those who wish to be) than using the word "notable". As it was once said, you wiki-geeks, "Ask, and you shall receive."

P.S. You're welcome!

I have no problem with the section itself or with many of the people listed, such as Erin Aldrich, Morgan Fairchild, and the two you mentioned. But I simply think that a few of the people on the list are not notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and I have suspected that some of the people on the list may have added their own names, which is frowned on by the Wikipedia community. But because there's really no objective way of determining who is notable enough for the list and who isn't, I don't know what to do about the list other than leave it as it is. Whenever I see that someone has added a new name to the list I usually do a Google search on the name; if I do not find results corresponding to a claim of notability for someone who was (plausibly) an LHHS alumnus, I revert the edit as "possible vanity." Additionally, the article needs to establish the notability of every person included on the list, which basically means stating what they are notable for. If notability of any person on the list cannot be established, then that name should be removed from the list. Just my opinion.

I had added John A. Davis some time ago, and am a little surprised to find that his name has been removed. (Please see Wikipedia page on John A. Davis to judge whether his is notable.) I do find it odd that a former safety for the Texas A&M football team, among several other college sports players, are somehow more notable than an Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director of major motion pictures. Perhaps he removed himself...? Lane Wimberley, class of 1982 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.155.241.203 (talk) 17:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Graduation speech issue

Various IPs have attempted to remove the content about a graduation speech controversy nine times since it was added in 2021 by user:Yngvadottir [1]. It has been restored by various named editors (user:Shortsword, user:Mr Reading Turtle, user:CodeTalker, user:Discospinster, user:Voorts, and me)

The content is well sourced and the incident received wide coverage, including internationally. I see no valid reason to remove it. Meters (talk) 22:09, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
