Like many pages you are lacking references for your page. This stopping you getting a "B". Your alumni list (unreferenced) gets you a "mid". Needs someone/a team to concentrate on improving this page. Good luck, Victuallers 10:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps someone could spell out the state and national championships under the athletics heading.
I think that the sources for these statements is on the website. I shall edit this page tommrow to reflect this-- WngLdr34 05:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC) I cleaned up the article, fixed a broken link
How could Collin Finnerty possibly not be considered as notable alumni?
There was another Chaminade High School in Dayton Ohio, but I think it changed its name to Chaminade-Julienne after merging with the local Catholic girls school. I believe there's at least one more Chaminade HS (in St. Louis??). Any current students or recent alums care to add to this article? -- Marj 20:15, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
An current Student here, There is another Chaminade in Long Beach Californa, but it does not seem notable to add at this current time. I shall rectfy that problem later.-- WngLdr34 04:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Current revision as I write: Pope John Paul II has referred to Chaminade High School as the best Catholic high school in the United States for raising young men in their faith." Does he really choose favorites among Catholic high schools? Quick google check couldn't confirm this (or disconfirm, but it's so hard to believe...) The quote here originates from the first version of this article by anon IP 143.115.159.54. Assuming the article survives vfd, I'm going to delete that item a few days if nobody comes forward with a citation. Samaritan 00:54, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
No, I'll look for a citation, but the Pope JP2 definitly said that.
Earth Science comes before Bio. Just letting everyone know that I made this very minor edit, in case you wonder why it happened.
I don't believe any one Chaminade Man is more notable than another. Here is my suggestion, remove this section.-- Ctparadise 13:06, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be a lot of confusion about this section. "Notable" does not mean in relation to all other Chaminade graduates; it refers to those who are notable in the world at large. Recently, someone put themselves in for receiving a minor class award at a US service academy. Another was for being an also-ran in a dubious sport (in an even worse example, someone tried to list this also-ran's brother in Notable Alumni, simply for being his brother!).
Here's my suggestion: we only list under "Notable Alumni" those men who meet at least one of the following criteria (they do not have to be living, or even currently-recognized figures, only to have been so at one time following graduation):
1. They are instantly-recognizable names, such as well-known celebrities, sports figures, etc. Dennehy, O'Reilly, etc.
2. They hold generally-recognized official titles such as elected officials, Chairman/CEO/President of major corporations, etc. D'Amato, Gerstner, Wright, etc.
3. They have won generally-recognized awards and/or titles, such as entertainment or sports awards, highest military honors, etc. Karopczyc, Harter, Kennedy, etc.

No, he wouldn't. He's not in a recognized sport, and he hasn't won anything...even if he had won in the "finals", it isn't a generally-recognized title/award. Info999 19 February 2007
Fine, but mixed martial arts is currently one of the fastest growing sports. Not recognized? Why don't you ask John McCain that?
I suggest adding Kevin Reilly. He has been a senior executive at four major TV networks, including President of NBC Prime Time. /info/en/?search=Kevin_Reilly_(executive)
Are there any non-Catholic students enrolled? -- 131.238.207.185 21:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Yes, there are students who aren't Catholic.
No, this is incorrect. Young men of all faiths can be admitted, but open slots go to Catholics first. This is from the CHS web site, so it should supercede all of the opinions around here:
Info999 02:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Upon graduation, many if not all Chaminade men drop the whole religion bullshit. After all, the school teaches young men how to cheat and fight till the death to stand at the top (and not sit on car hoods while smoking pot for it may lead to severe hemerrhoids). But hey, that is why Chaminade is the tits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.185.121 ( talk) 01:43, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
"Priority" is caca de vaca. Non-catholics are not admitted. Besides, there's no way a non-catholic could survive the environment anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.231.194 ( talk) 11:03, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Not sure if it's relevant enough to be mentioned on this page, but Newsday featured an article about CHS hiring Finnerty as an assistant lacrosse coach. Socby19 19:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)SocBy19
I removed the the link to Toxic-Penguin, because SHK is the most recent, and has contains links to all other known CHS notes sites. I believe if Toxic-Penguin were to go up, you might as well add Iron Husky, because it has more data. Hey, why not add the other four as well? Oh, wait, that'd be pointless because it's too long, and SHK has links to all others. Um, I think I made my point. Socby19 15:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)SocBy19
-- And I have readded it because along with SHK, it is the only 'active' notes site as of right now. Seeing as it fulfills your other requirements, I think it is right to list it again.
Collin Finnerty is a notable alumnus of Chaminde High School in Mineola, NY.
Why would he be notable? Because he was involevd in a rape scandal, that turned out to be false? Just because a person is in the news doesn't make them notable. He maybe infamous but he did not achieve success in a chosen field nor do anything positive or successful, at least not yet! Dantali ( talk) 19:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I did an alpha sort because it makes it quicker for those who learn of a prominent alumnus, but don't know his year, to insert him into the list. Most such lists are organized that way; a few are first divided by reason for notability, then alpha-sorted.-- Orange Mike 19:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
At one time, all CHS students took Latin for first 2 years. Second year was Latin + Sp or Fr or Grmn - NO Science that year. What % take Latin now? What does text mean by "Earth Science (orOceanography)"[sic] - are they alternative courses or does someone think Oceanography and Earth Science are the same?-- JimWae 05:44, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Speaking as a Chaminade Student, it means that Freshmen can take a test in June, before they enter Chaminade, to be placed in the advanced Science Class, Oceanography. September 10, 2007
Speaking as another Chaminade Student, either Earth Science or Biology can be placed out of by taking a placement test before Frosh year (old final?, not sure) and Oceanography will replace the class in the Earth->Bio->Chem->Physics progression. Testing out of Bio is rare as most students haven't taken sufficient Bio in 8th grade to pass (75%) the exam. I was one of three Soph. in my oceanography class. Students now take only one language all four years. Next time I visit, I'll ask an administrator about the amounts of students in each language. My estimate is Spanish>Latin>French>German based on the amount of staff, number of classes for each language, and relative sizes of the language clubs. 17:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.92.137 ( talk)
Why are people re-adding the information about Murphy which is completely unsourced. Even if it were sourced we would have a problem with this info as Murphy stronglyu objects to his inclusion on wikipedia, he considers it stalking, and just because his article is kept does not mean we can stalk him by adding inforamtion to wikipedia that has nothing to do with his career as a producer. But lets get a source before anything else as unsourced the information is a gross violation of WP:V, SqueakBox 18:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Let's keep Murphy out (and perhaps remove everyone else not sourced as having went to this school, while we are at it) pending sourcing that he did go there, but let's also not revert war over it, thanks. Once it is sourced, if it is, if Murphy has an issue with it being in here, he can take it to OTRS... that's always been open to him. ++ Lar: t/ c 20:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, we don't take self written material (Don's site) and the ebay info is a mirror of wikipedia itself, so neither of these are reliable sources under our definition, and neither justify inclusion. ++ Lar: t/ c 04:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Seems a good idea to me. Perhaps mention it at the pump?? I'll make it a practice to remove them when I see them (but I stopped cruising highschools quite some time ago) I just spot checked and my HS has an article (unfortunately, it's in my view completely non notable but that's a battle for another time) and doesn't have any alumni listed (yaay). ++ Lar: t/ c 03:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I have added Terrence Lanni (this diff shows the addition). Note that I have used a proper citation technique , and in the list of references it shows the source for the benefit of readers. Many of the recently added alumni just give a URL. That's not nearly as good. Please consider using {{ cite web}} or other mechanism so that readers see more than just [1] ++ Lar: t/ c 11:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I just pulled a lot of alumni in this edit
Don Murphy's source doesn't count. It's a wikipedia mirror. We've been over this before... The rest, I suspect we have some folks having some fun here. I may have pulled a real one or two. If so, find a source and put them back. But... The Incredible Hulk? Cookie Monster? Berenstein Bears? I don't think so. There has been a steady stream of edits here that are interfering with the bots attempts to revert to good versions. I think it may be advisable to cut the whole article back down to a stub, semi protect it, and try again. (oh and leave out the bits about "they killed off the prom because they weren't getting any action" while we're at it... :) ) ++ Lar: t/ c 01:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
The removal isn't warranted. Even if the allegations are completely bogus and that can be sourced, that just means the latest sources and text to that effect should be incorporated, not that the section should be removed. Regardless of the merits of the case, the lawsuit happened. Removing the cited text is akin to white-washing.-- Isotope23 talk 15:53, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Jcarleo ( talk · contribs) and a succession of anonymous editors have been adding text about competitive sausage-eating competitions at the school. I've got a number of concerns about this:
Is there any reason this text should be in the article, and if so, what reliable sources support it? — C.Fred ( talk) 04:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
The lawsuit was initiated by the secretary because she said she was "fired." However, she failed to report to work for six weeks, and was thus considered a non-employee by the school. This was construed as getting fired. Also, the NY Post isn't exactly the most reliable source in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.201.172 ( talk) 03:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
It appears that most educational institutions, including noteworthy high schools, have their school crest or shield as the head image on the info box on Wikipedia. It also appears that if used in this instance, Wikipedia has been considering it fair use and not a violation of copyright law. I recommend that we move the image of the facade of Chaminade to the bottom of the info box and place an image of the school crest (i.e., the crossed torch and cross) at the top of the info box. If there is reason that this should not be done, please elaborate. -- Yuristache ( talk) 07:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
