Untitled[edit]

I removed this statement:

As of recently, a continual posting of posters featuring Bob Barker, an advocate for the spaying and nudoring of cats and dogs, and the text "please spay or nudor your freshmen" has occured at the school.

I am a student at Westside and I know this happened, but I don't think it's encylopedic. I think it may be vandalism, but I'll assume good faith. --Tjss (Talk) 21:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

James Couture[edit]

Who is James Couture, and why are we promoting his website? Is it Notable in some way? Is he Notable in some way? Fan-1967 21:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

James Couture is a popular history teacher at Westside. His website is a fairly significant component of all his classes, as it allowed students to access course material 24/7. I included it because of possible student interest. --Tjss (Talk) 03:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Commons has plenty of good pictures of the school. I suggest that one of these would be better in the infobox than the logo there now. Might even want to use more than one in the article. - Jmabel | Talk 08:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
