Lists

Is it really necessary to have long lists of the sports and clubs? I should think this information would rapidly go out of date, and there's little encyclopedic value. Thoughts? --TeaDrinker (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged this article for cleanup because of the large walls of unsourced text, notably the clubs. I would have removed large chunks but wanted a discussion first. Ifnord (talk) 18:16, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not much that needed any discussion. The clubs aren't encyclopedic content. If any particular club has done anything of note, perhaps that could be included with reliable secondary sources. Left list of athletics teams as that is pretty much standard content for a US high school and unless contentious, could be sourced to the school (the state sanctioning body too, in most states). Also removed the overly detailed and virtually unsourced Fine arts section. John from Idegon (talk) 01:51, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Penitentiary history

Does anyone know about the roots of the campus? There is a rumor that part of the campus was used as a Penitentiary for some time before the current school. Gbem419 (talk) 03:35, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In general, talk pages should be for discussion about improving the article, rather than general questions about the subject of the article itself. However this article on the school which was on the site prior to Shorewood HS seems to indicate it was continuously operated as a school from 1906 to 1970. Shorewood opened in 1975, and some portion of the intervening time I assume was for construction. Use as a jail or penitentiary seems improbable since it was not mentioned in the article and co-locating jails and schools seems unusual. It is also not on the List of Washington state prisons. Hope that is helpful. --TeaDrinker (talk) 05:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
