This is a minor point, but the page shows that the final line of FSHS' fight song is "Fight for ol' FSH". I believe that when the fight song was written, the school was more often referred to as "Fairmont High School" rather than "Fairmont Senior High School", and as such, the original lyrics were "Fight for ol' FHS". Those were the lyrics that I learned when I attended the school from 1987 through 1990. Even then, most folks (myself among them) referred to the school as "Fairmont Senior High" or "FSHS" or occasionally "FSH", but I'm unaware that the fight song lyrics were ever formally changed to reflect the modern nickname. To further complicate the matter, the page here has both versions! Does anyone know if the lyrics were ever officially changed? -- JimBurnell ( talk) 15:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

The school that is the subject of this article is quite historic. This article has the potential to be a very high quality article. Unfortunately, it isn't. Nowhere near.
Large swaths of this article are not referenced. It appears some individual (or group, possibly connected with the school) have written a ton of unsourced, possibly original research, essay-like material about this school here. While I'm sure this was done with the best of intentions, that is not what an encyclopedia article is supposed to be.
Encyclopedia articles are to be constructed entirely (not mostly, not some, not only the key facts - entirely) from material paraphrased from already published reliable sources. A school history collection housed in the school's library is alluded to in the article. Materials housed in such a collection, with the exception of already published books, magazine articles or newspaper clippings, cannot be used here.
The language used in this article is entirely too flowery. See the guidelines referenced in this section's title for guidance.
Be advised the content guidelines for school articles suggest that we do not name students or staff. Other than figures associated with the school's early days, I see no reason to deviate from that here. There is no reason to mention any teacher or coach, past or present.
This article is currently a mess. I cannot do the research needed to improve it. I can however, cut the unsourced material and copy edit the fluff. I'd rather see someone who maybe can clean this up work on it. I'll ping Coal town guy who has done a ton of work on West Virginia topics to see if he can help, but frankly, most of the clean up is probably going to need to be done by the editors that originally created this. Thanks. Ping me if you need anything. John from Idegon ( talk) 04:18, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
OK, for wikitravel purposes, alot of this article is just that, and its close paraphrasing. FOR AN ENCYCLOPEDIA, its not relevant.I fully expect to read about somebodys date with Mary Jane Rotten Crotch any moment now and this has to stop please. Stick to facts.

I found a source that said that FSHS was established in 1897 in the Second Ward Building. However, the original Wikipedia article stated that FSHS was established before that. Does anyone know about FSHS's establishment? NaturalSoundsYEAH! ( talk) 18:25, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Is the inscriptions section and pictures needed? NaturalSoundsYEAH! ( talk) 18:16, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
