[edit] Notable alumni? Not without sources

Jasmine Guy was re-added to the list today, even though her article states that she did not attend North Atlanta, but a predecessor school. Thus, per this article, she did not attend North Atlanta and can't be listed.

The rest of the list that's up (except RuPaul) has {{fact}} tags up requesting the information be verified. Since it's all (or is largely) information about living persons, the biography rules require that it be substantiated or it comes down. If you've got sources, cite them now; otherwise the list is coming down. —C.Fred (talk) 00:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Is it relevant that Northside High School occupied the same building as North Atlanta High School, and there was continuity from Northside and North Fulton to North Atlanta? Technically nearly everyone on this list predates the merger of the two schools. A finer point is that the Performing Arts magnet is considered a school unto itself and it has been a continuous program through both schools.

At the time Jasmine Guy attended Northside High (at least), the performing arts magnet wasn't a school unto itself, strictly speaking. All students attended the same basic classes (math, English, science, etc.) together, with the arts students taking arts classes and a lower load of more usual topics. The populations were mixed. I don't recall anyone mentioning RuPaul as an alum, but he would have been before my time. As for listing alums from Northside here, note that the Northside High School page points here, and the article is clear about when the change-over occurred. Poochner 20:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
