[edit] Who is the school named after?

The article has two different statements about who the school is named after. The Location section says "The school is named for Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson." while the Information section says "The high school is named for the Canadian-American politician, Franklin K. Lane." Neither has a cited reference and I did not find anything in the References or External links to resolve this obvious conflict. Since the school is in the USA, I tend to believe the former is correct, but there is nothing to prove that. Therefore, I have tagged both as citation needed. Can someone help resolve this? Thanks.

  • You're right that a citation is needed; however, if you read the article that you linked to, it is pretty obvious that Franklin K. Lane was both a Canadian-American politician and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. --Russ (talk) 11:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
