[edit] Huh.
One thing I did not know about my school is its connections to Gacy. Thanks, Wikipedia! -RadSkat3 17:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
The section on varsity fencing appears to need some fixing. AFAIK, Marian Central Catholic High School still competes (it is the "5th school," which was removed from the list several months ago), and there are other schools in Illinois that have started fencing teams recently (Highland Park High School and Deerfield High School are two, and there may be others). --Epee1221 03:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have made the edit.--Epee1221 01:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Breakfast Club
The page for Maine South High School claims their football field was used for the final scene for The Breakfast Club, as well as this article. I'll erase the comment from this page until anyone can straighten that out. If you find out the real answer, tell me so on my talk page. --BLuToRsE 12:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Urban legend claims that it was filmed at main west but the truth is it was indeed filmed at main sout. Main west has a lighted field and main south doesnt. There is no lights on the breakfeast club field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.85.173 (talk) 23:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello - it was definately filmed mostly at Maine North! I was there!! The field is a very small part in the film —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.244.197 (talk) 05:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Alumni?
Can anyone establish the notability of the following alumni who have been added to the page without citation or explanation of what makes them notable?
- Ralph Puccinelli, MW class of '76.
- Tony Marino, class of '01.

[edit] What not to include
Hello Warriors! I just went through and made some changes to the article, based on Wikipedia's policy for schools, which can be found at:WikiSchools: What not to include. I hope no one takes this personally. The biggest thing to delete was the activities section, which was nothing more than a list of all the activities at the school. I hope someone will put that section back, but restrict it to activities that are unique to the school (and explain what they are), or activities that have achieved notability and success. As always: cite, cite, cite! Good luck, and happy editing! LonelyBeacon 11:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
I am assessing this article for WikiProject Schools as Start / Mid. A strong Start class article with plenty of content, more references are however needed for section such as History for B class. General expansion on areas such as academics and campus would be great, as well as some pictures and a school logo. I am giving this article Mid importance for alumni and history.
