[edit] Notable alumni

None of the "notable alumni" appear to be notable from my google'ing. I would therefore suggest removing them. chowells 01:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Chowells, who are you? Did you attend Homestead High School? Are you from Indiana? How do you have any right to say that these are not notable alumni. They are, and google isn't the answer to everything. Who made you the watch dog for Homestead High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana? Leave it alone. eazyz99 09:00, 24 October 2005 (EST)

You can find out who I am by visiting my user page. I am quite aware that google isn't everything, which is why I am requesting that you justify their inclusion. I'm not going to "leave it alone" and I suggest that you read Wikipedia:Consensus. Thank you. chowells 09:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Justin Zellers is a record producer/studio engineer at one of the largest recording studios in the midwest. He's worked with rap artitst, Twista, and is finishing up NBA All-Star Ron Artest's debut R&B album. He works for Sweetwater Sound, INC., the third largest music retailer in the world. Mr. Zellers has also just produced and engineered many jazz records that have achieved medium success in the state of Indiana.

Justin graduated, with honors, from Ball State University in 2003 with a degree in Telecommunication, specializing in Production. He attended Homestead High School from 1995 to 1999 and graduated with Distinguished Honors, near the top of his class. Justin's friends include famed producer/engineer, George Massenburg, and political talk radio host, Rush Limbaugh.

I'm afraid that a record producer does not sound particularly notable, and being friends of someone who is notable is not notable in itself. And that's one of them, what about all the others? chowells 09:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I give up. You are such an asshole. You get off on watching me and disputing everything I do on wikipedia and that's just sick. You have problems and need to grow up. Have a fun life being a free watch dog for an online encyclopedia, loser. - EaZyZ99

You need to read WP:NPA and WP:3RR. —Locke Cole (talk) (e-mail) 07:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Is Kenny Edwards a notable alumni? Acronjsmith 06:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Censorship

NEW TOPIC: The school came under fire last year for censorhip when the Principal denied the drama director to perform a play she had already approved. It was in the newspapers around the area. I believe it was worth putting up here, but I wanted your opinions before I go ahead with it. SovietChicken

I say go for it. Sounds noteworthy. Ms. Moake seems to come under fire alot. - Eaton

Definitely mention the names of the musicals. Urinetown was initially proposed as the spring musical, and when that plan was turned down like Bat Boy the previous year the far raunchier Cabaret was proposed and accepted. Syckls

It was a very controversial in the high school but really around the area, there wasn't that much news on it. In my honest opinion, you probably know more about this topic than most of the students who went to Homestead or are currently attending that High School. Are you referring to BatBoy or Urinetown?
