John Allen's connection to the school?

[edit]

Does anyone know Catholic journalist John Allen's connection to Notre Dame High School?

He mentioned NDHS in one of his book introductions -- I think he thanked the journalism department or something like that. From his phrasing, it sounded as if he had been a student there in the 1990's. But I think that's impossible -- he's almost certainly older than that. So I was wondering if maybe he was on the faculty there?

He is now world-renowned as a journalist who covers the Catholic church, so I thought his connection to NDHS should be mentioned on the Notre Dame High School page and on the John L. Allen, Jr. page. - Lawrence King 05:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC) (an alumnus of Crespi!) [reply]

(Later) This question was partially answered on Talk:John L. Allen, Jr.#Connection to Notre Dame High School?. - Lawrence King 23:15, 22 October 2006 (UTC) [reply]

He was the journalism teacher (and I believe an English teacher) there for several years during the 1990s. He was also a vice principal for a time. I was a student there during the period. Interesting guy.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.193.147.228 (talk) 06:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FURTHER INFORMATION: John Allen taught English and Journalism at Notre Dame HS (Sherman Oaks, CA) in the early 1990's. He was also moderator/adviser for the school newspaper. He was Vice Principal for the 1994-95 and 1995-96 school years. He stepped down from the VP post for the 1996-1997 school year, and eventually resigned from NDHS during that school year (around January, 1997). He briefly wrote free-lance articles for various Catholic publications before landing a permanent position with the National Catholic Reporter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.193.91 (talk) 14:22, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Docherty

[edit]

Subject of hundreds of articles including 2 front-page appearances in the Wall Street Journal and referenced heavily in the 2002 bestselling business book Bamboozled at the Revolution.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Messeleven (talk) • contribs) 15:21, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References need to be supplied but what you write above does not, in itself, make the person notable. --David Shankbone 16:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American Nazi Party's Connection to the School?

[edit]

Does anyone know the American Nazi Party's connection to Notre Dame High School? The organization was mentioned obscurely in some school paperwork dealing with teacher recommendations. -- It seemed like a considerable number of teachers were listed as having previous experience with the American Nazi Party on their job application forms-- But I think that's impossible -- why would a Catholic high school even consider teachers connected with Nazism of any kind? So I was wondering if maybe the party or its tenets are mentioned somewhere in the school handbook? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ah-ah-ah,youdidn'tsaythemagicword (talk • contribs) 04:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Livitsanos - notable?

[edit]

Someone keeps putting back Jerry Livitsanos but without a source or wikipedia article, so there is no way to know if he actually went to the school and if he is notable. Please provide sources or his name should be removed. Thanks. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 07:13, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Jerry Livitsanos is an indie Senior of the Notre Dame community. His number one choice is Columbia University and he loves the album "Liquid Swords" by the GZA. He is a notable source and is currently taking up the art of DJing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.60.146.50 (talk) 16:50, 11 December 2008 (UTC) He hopes to continue DJing with his great friends DJ AC and Sensei Purple, in which they would form their own type of Bomb Squad. DJ AC is the masta mixer while Sensei Purple and Jerry would deal with samples, layers, and keyboard although they would not be limited to their positions. Their current goal is to attain Ableton Live, so they can start their take over of the electro/dance/house/experimental hip-hop world. Imagine if the RZA and Justice produced a child, and that kid went on to have an affair with Flying Lotus and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Sensei Purple is the kind of guy you don't mess with, he's hardcore with a style of his own. He's intelligent with a sense for music that is atypical but you can still feel the beats, right up in your veins. Sensei Purple is for the children.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.21.28 (talk) 07:01, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I'm surprised he doesn't have his own article. Importantguy12345 (talk) 08:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sex Scandal

[edit]

It might be worth noting that a NDHS circa 1996 Greek was quietly released after molesting a male student. It was very quickly hushed/covered up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.147.77 (talk) 17:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Goosen does not belong as a notable alumni (high school football coach for 3 years, never has had a wining season. loser!

Notable alumni

[edit]

... all need sources. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up the ones with not obvious notability according to WP:NLIST but unfortunately I've got reverted. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 18:28, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Someone keeps readding the list, even after I deleted the ones without sources. Epicgenius (talk) 18:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And they still need sources. I am going to re-add the citation needed tag. Epicgenius (talk) 01:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
