Can anyone verify the veracity of the prior note claiming that Malcolm X attended Westside. I had not heard this previously.
That said, I'd like to include some material that details the unique circumstances of Westside/District 66 with respect to the Omaha school district, especially in relation to the recent Elkhorn brou-ha-ha. I would like to learn more about the history of the district and whether or not it existed as a de-facto whites only school during the 1950s and 1960s.

Ernie Chambers did not go to Westside either, he went to Central. Neither did Malcolm X. Malcolm X moved away from Omaha when he was 2 years old, look it up. Either someone has rocks for brains or someone is just playing pranks. Grow up.

Is the show choir part necessary? There are tons of organizations at Westside, many of which are nearly as successful at a regional/national level.

Jhowl305 ( talk) 13:55, 16 November 2013 (UTC) Westside has 3 state championships in football, not 2. The first came in 1966, before playoffs. They were tied with Omaha Benson at the end of the season and had a one game playoff which they won. They were declared state champions (their 1st). Easy to confirm. Contact Stu Pospisil, head sports writer Omaha World Herald, 402-444-1201.
In the "Notable alumni" section, will it be appropriate to include the pop-rap duo "Jack & Jack"? In their Wikipedia page, it states that they have both attended Westside High School, however, they do not have respective pages for each one of them, but a shared page for their band.
So the options are:
1. Do not include them, as all alumni in that section have a respective personal page.
2. Include them as a duo, with a link to their page. (example: Jack & Jack, American pop-rap duo).
3. Include them as individuals, but with a reference at the end to the page (example: Jack Gilinsky, part of the pop-rap duo Jack & Jack).
4. Include them, but without a link to a respective page, perhaps a link to a non-existent page for future use? (example: Jack Gilinsky, which currently redirects to the band's page, but in the future might link to Jack's personal page if it is ever created).
Please let me know what you think!
