[edit] What about the windows

I think we need a little more history in this article, what about the windows?Coltello Mer (talk) 20:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

What about the windows? We have next to none except in the new wing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masterblake9 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] interesting facts / history

During my time at Aloha High School (1994) I ended up making it down to the old firing range under the school. I dont remember where I heard originally that the school was at one time a purposed building for a State Pen. facility and they backed out of it at the last moment. I found a box of Star Wars paperback books dating to 1977. That is the reason that the windows are very narrow or non-existant, they didnt want you to escape.

I have heard the same thing in local folklore growing up. My parents (who attended at Aloha) and grandparents told me the blueprint was originally made for a prison, but the neighborhood (including my grandmother who lived nearby at 198th and Farmington) heavily protested. I only wish I could find a web or book source to cite for this one because I'm sure it's true.Dragonnas (talk) 04:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
