Welcome, again; but I should sound a note of warning. You say that "Part of my job is to keep track of the Wikipedia page for Bakersfield High School." I need to point out that no Wikipedia article is owned by anyone, certainly not by its subject, so that you cannot require that any particular version is kept; in fact, as someone connected with the school you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, and should carefully read that guideline and the one on WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. In particular, in any edits you make you should take care to avoid a promotional tone - Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
