Yamaguchi

I would like to note that Ms. Yamaguchi was registered for just a short time. She finished her instruction as a private student therefore not a graduate of Mission High School. This is fact and has been verifed through the school staff.

Okay. But...do you actually have sources to back this up? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 23:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
What I mean to say is, I'm sure this is the case with the private student thing, but the question I have is, what's the evidence that she didn't receive a diploma from MSJ? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 23:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the list of notable alumni should include Abreau or Moore.

Abreau didn't play even a single game in the major leagues, although he probably would have reached the majors had he not suffered a serious arm injury. Nevertheless, the baseball landscape is littered with talented pitchers who blew their arms out early, so I see nothing notable in his accomplishments.

Moore, now a pitching coach at USF, never reached the majors either. Again, he had a fine high school and college career, but did nothing that, in my view, merits inclusion in the notable alumni list.

By contrast, Yamaguchi, a world class figure skater who won a Gold medal in the 1992 Winter Olympics, clearly belongs on the list. Plummer, a key player on a Superbowl champion 49er team and now an analyst on 49er radio broadcasts, also clearly belongs on the list.

Ruiz, doesn't merit inclusion on her own, but her marriage to Eastwood should, in my view, tip the balance in her favor.

Callahan, although not as famous as Yamaguchi, Plummer or even Ruiz, has clearly accomplished much in her career by becoming a federal court appellate judge, so I think the list should include her. If she does get nominated to fill a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy, there won't be any question that she belongs on the list.

Kashyap is more problematic. He's the least famous of anyone on the list, but he has published important books and scholarly articles on banking and arguably has more expertise on the Japanese banking system than anyone outside Japan. I feel confident if you polled all living Economic Nobel Laureates, Federal Reserve Board Governors or Presidential Economic Advisors they would unanimously confirm the importance of Kashyap's work. On the basis of his work, therefore, I think Kashyap belongs on the list.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should indicate that I know Plummer and Kashyap personally. I have friends and/or family members who know Ruiz and Abreau, but I have never met either of them myself. I have never met Yamaguchi, Callahan or Moore, and to the best of my knowledge no friends and/or family members of mine have met them either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mskarpelos (talk • contribs)

I would like to question the neutrality of this page. True, some students have avoided academic integrity, and the majority of the students in Mission San Jose High care immense about their grades, but from what I have experienced, the alumni are not total nerds. They really know how to have fun, online and offline. People do stress out, but to the extent to which it is healty and productive, and competitiveness is not at all rampant.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.163.117.20 (talk • contribs) .

Sorry about the unbacked-up edit. I wanted to remove the section on cheating because it was an isolated event and does nothing for the integrity of the school. The fish&lockers prank was also a one-time occurence, and even if it had enough significance to be written about, it should go under the "student life" section, or maybe a new section should be created which talks about the student culture. The section could address the "nerdiness" of the student body, as well as academic rigors, Homecoming, etc. For now I'm going to take out the blurbs again (as well as the utterly random sports shout-outs that have no relevance). .onion 04:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Page layout and improvements

I moved things around a little to match Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools and to get rid of the white space near the info box. It may be that some of the material I moved to "Academic competition" belongs under "Academics." Move it back if it is associated with classwork, rather than after school clubs. You could use some clearer pictures, a History section, more material on the campus, and something to start a section about Faculty.--Hjal 06:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Boys Volleyball

Come on, no mention of our Boys Volleyball? 12-0 in MVAL 2009, and 2nd place NCS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.94.76 (talk) 22:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Missionpedia

There's no mention of our student-organized, comprehensive but incomplete guide to the staff and clubs! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicguyguy (talk • contribs) 21:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
