I think that it would be a good idea to provide more sources for this article by recording anecdotes from various school atendees and alumni. Denting5 ( talk) 23:11, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I think we need to do something with the alumni section, and perhaps add more citations. Bmackenty ( talk) 18:57, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I removed the specific information about school traditions. It doesn't strike me as "encyclopedia worthy" I think it's enough to just mention these events. Bmackenty ( talk) 14:22, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
There seems to be very opinionated information in the Senior Walkout section. Somebody with better knowledge of this event should revise the section. apricot50 11:36, 16 January 2012
I'd like to remove school culture. Again, how are hang-outs worthy of an encyclopedia entry? Maybe we could keep this section in if we included a lot more information about our culture, and cited it? Please comment. Bmackenty ( talk) 14:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
This probably needs a re-write as well. I think championships are worthy of mention, but perhaps a bit to much detail? Bmackenty ( talk) 13:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I changed the alumni so it is a sortable table. I might make the "notable" part a sortable category as well. eek. Many of our alums have no references? Bmackenty ( talk) 15:18, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello user 74.4.24.34. Before you make statements like "(This is NOT what the WSJ rankings say, and those rankings are meaningless anyway. So what if everyone went to Yale and Brown from a school? What do they teach you there?!)"
It is wholly inappropriate for you to make changes and edits to our page without discussing them first. I welcome questions, debate, and a frank exchange of ideas. However, for you to make these changes without any conversation isn't very good wiki-citizenship. :-)
Let's take a look at this, shall we?
The first source is from: http://webreprints.djreprints.com/wsj_tuition_040104.pdf
This source seems to be confirm the statement that HCHS sends a high proportion of students to the ivy league.
The second source is http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-COLLEGE0711-sort.html
This source also factually supports the sentence. This sentence IS factual. I'm open to discussion to change it, if you'd like to discuss it first. Bmackenty ( talk) 14:41, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Dr. Coppola announced her resignation at a faculty meeting last week. Dr. Fisher will be the acting replacement. I am leaving the employ of the campus schools, and will take a less active role in maintaining this page. I welcome other people in the HCHS community to become an editor! Bmackenty ( talk) 15:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
I added several Senior Mascots to this section of the page, particularly in the '60s and '70s, based on what I could piece together from the Alumni Facebook group. 155.47.181.21 ( talk) 20:18, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Has there already been a discussion of the increasingly unrepresentitive nature of the school's student body? Perhaps we ought to add one. Paul, in Saudi ( talk) 06:49, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
According to numerous reliable media sources (for example: 1 2 3) it appears that Avril Danica Haines, class of 1987, is about to become the first woman to be Deputy Director of the CIA. — Mark Dominus ( talk) 20:15, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Some of the alumni -- who don't have wp articles, and don't have independent reliable source refs -- need supporting independent reliable source refs (at minimum), or they are subject to deletion. -- Epeefleche ( talk) 09:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
"Dense novels" are mentioned. This might be vandalism. I am not sure what they are, if it is not. Is someone trying to be funny? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.197.48.128 ( talk) 15:21, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

The following was added to the alumni section. She certainly seems talented but really doesn't seem to be notable enough yet for the purpose of this list. If the list gets too long it looses meaning. I have deleted the edit. "Katie Spencer (class of 2004) – singer / keyboardist for Jesse McCartney, Grammy nominated, actor, TV producer" JustinReilly ( talk) 13:37, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

I think we can keep this. The entire section is unsourced anyway, and is likely to be that way for any school, so either we dump everything or not pick and choose. (I'm ok with either option.)-- regentspark ( comment) 16:28, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
Removed “Bondage & Discipline and S&M educator” Williams Hass from alumni section due to, IMO, insufficient notability. She seems talented but really doesn't seem to be notable enough yet for the purpose of this list. If the list gets too long it looses some meaning. JustinReilly ( talk) 02:14, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Magnolia677 reverted my edit adding Diana Bianchi to alums for not being notable; IMO she’s one of the more notable on the list; first female to serve as “the nation’s pediatrician” is, if not historic, certainly notable (plus 300 papers published; done a good amount of pioneering/notable bench research, frmr Harvard Med Prof, bigwig at Tufts Hospital, lifetime achievement award from Stanford, etc.) JustinReilly ( talk) 06:18, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
@ Johnnie Bob, I noticed you recently reverted this set of changes by an IP address. I have a COI with CUNY, so I'm refraining from editing this article directly. However, I do not see issues with the following changes:
While I don't agree with all of the edits (for example, this could've been updated rather than removed), I think at least several of them were helpful. – Epicgenius ( talk) 00:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
