Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit protected}} template. Multiple editors have raised multiple policy- and guideline-based reasons why this should not be included when you were trying to edit-war to include it, none of which have you addressed.

Cleanup done

Finally this article has been cleaned up. As an encyclopedia article, everything added to it going forward needs to have a reliable, independent source attached to it. This is not the school's page. It is an independent encyclopedia article about the school. Every piece of information that can reasonably be sourced to the school is already in the article. This article will not serve as a marketing tool for the school or a bulletin board for its students any more. Pinging administrator DMacks so he too will be aware of this and keep an eye on it.

Past "sanatizing" of this article

I'd like some input on whether the material removed in this edit belongs or if it falls under WP:NOTNEWS. It appears to be well sourced and covered for more than just a single news cycle in numerous far-flung sources. John from Idegon (talk) 19:00, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
