Main priority is gathering references to defend claims. Alumni list is useful, but I would suspect not complete.. Photo gallery would be a nice addition Victuallers 19:35, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
This article is not an advertisement for Archbishop Mitty.
The criticisms are levied amongst Archbishop Mitty students as well as persons from other schools in the Diocese and local public schools. They shouldn't be deleted simply because they show the school in an unfavorable light; there are plenty of other parts of the article that show AMHS' "good side," and the article as it stands with a criticism section is still objective. In light of this agreement, don't delete the anonymous alumni's opinion. Thanks!
Wikipedia is not a public advertisement forum, and as such should not be censored to remove truthful statements which do in fact accurately reflect the happenings of the school.
Per the school article guidelines, "School articles should also specifically not include:...Lists of colleges and universities that have accepted students from the school". Please do not put that info back. Gtwfan52 ( talk) 20:13, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Please keep in mind this is not "Mitty's page on Wikipedia": it is "Wikipedia's page on Mitty".
Things that should be included in a school article are things that are of interest beyond the school community. Things that are different about this school. Every school has dances; unless something is really unique about one (and keep in mind that means it needs to be unique enough that someone outside the school community feels it is unique enough to write a newspaper or magazine article about it), we do not need to talk about it. I have not seen one other school article that discusses what union the teachers belong to (I have not seen them all; not by a long shot, but I watch about 2500 school articles).
The guidelines are very specific about what level of achievement we will discuss. Only the highest possible, which in the US is assumed to be state championships will be discussed. We do not discuss individual students or faculty (unless that student or teacher is themselves notable; ie they have a bio on Wikipedia).
All achievements need to be referenced to an outside source, like a newspaper article or the sanctioning body's website.
When writing an encyclopedia article, adjectives are generally not your friend. We don't say things are unique, exceptional, notable, world-class, state-of-the-art or even important. We state the facts and let the readers draw their conclusions. Also, keep in mind that an encyclopedia article does not have a date on it so terms like currently, recently, last year, in the past several years, etc, are all absolutely meaningless. Don't use phrases or adverbs like that.
This is pretty obviously a fairly important school. There is probably much that can be written on it. This article however is never going to be a publicity vehicle for this private school. Wikipedia is not here to provide publicity for anything. Read the school article guidelines ( WP:SCH/AG). Look at some good or featured school articles. Use those things to guide your writing. I will help when I can, but my web access is very limited these days. Happy editing! John from Idegon ( talk) 20:16, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Request removal of entire mission statement section as out of guideline (Do I need to form a consensus for this?) and removal of every achievement in the athletics section with the exception of the claim that the women's program was ranked first in the nation by Sports Illustrated. That claim is referenced to SI. all the rest are referenced to a baseball schedule on the school's website, and 99% are for achievements less than state championships, which would be out of guideline anyway. John from Idegon ( talk) 22:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
The total number of students enrolled is not up to date since the enrollment size for 2014 is given. The article gives a pretty detailed description of the campus but doesn't mention the John A. and Susan Sobrato Science and Student Life Center. In addition to needing information on men's sports, a section about other notable school clubs and programs such as their speech and debate team and performing arts department. The list of notable alumni should also be revised.
References should be added for the sentences about Kerri Walsh donating a beach volleyball court as well as the date the Schott Family Music Center was opened. The section about the student body gives data for the 2014-2015 school year. Along with being outdated, it doesn't have a citation. The links in the reference section that I clicked on all worked. However, reference number 25 is a link to the school's website which is not a good source because it is not independent of the school and is an official website.
