I'd just like to note that Galileo Academy of Science and Technology was the first to have a Wikipedia page out of all public high schools in San Francisco. I'd like to think that this relects upon our school's emphasis. So much for Lowell being #1 at everything, no?

Paddling

Isn't paddling illegal in California schools? How did Galileo let this happen?

I think it's illegal period. I removed that part of the article so there shouldn't be anymore problems. --Snkcube 19:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Motto

The motto, which is "Eppur si muove!", is Italian, not Latin.

Hymn

The lyrics to the hymn, Hail Galileo Hail was removed by user Lizard the Wizard on June 15th, 2016 leaving the Galileo Hymn section with only the titles of 2 of the 3 fight songs that are not the hymn. I reverted this user's edit to the most recent revelant post. The lyrics to the hymn are correct ^[1] and ^[2]. Other high school in the same school district also have hymns and their lyrics are on their respective Wikipedia articles. The hymn is commonly sung at events such as the annual Song and Yell and at the end of graduation ceremonies. John885 (talk) 09:21, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fake etymology

The Latin etymology for the word "Galileo" seems to be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.200.241 (talk) 12:46, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The word seems to be in Hebrew. Aramaic seems to have borrowed it from Hebrew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.200.241 (talk) 12:19, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

School Colors

I can assure that the school colors for Galileo is Purple and Gold. As an alumni that attended from 2003 to 2006, that is our school colors. The SFUSD website have provided incorrect information. The truth about Galileo's colors is actually the other way around from what the school district have provided. The school colors was temporarily changed to Purple and Orange during the Second World War due to the conservation of precious metals and was changed back to Purple and Gold at the end of the war. Editors, please do not change the school colors to Purple and Orange unless you can get assurance from an actual Galileo staff at (415) 749-3430 that the colors have changed, and state it.

Map Location

The pushpin map in the info box shows the location of nearby Marina High and not Galileo Academy of Science and Technology. 76.102.37.16 (talk) 18:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
