Hello, and thanks for creating this article. It's been tagged for various improvements. I removed the notability tag because high schools are nearly always found to be notable but only if they have reliable sources. Could you please look it over and see if you can help improve it? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:40, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I take issue with your nomination of my K-Arrow Ranch article for deletion. It was a history article and did not fall under your speedy deletion nomination criteria.

Hi Cindy, can you please move St. Mary's College High SchooltoSaint Mary's College High School. (Currently, a search for "Saint Mary's College High School" redirects to this article.)
