Mascott Change
editSeriously? The mascot is still the dead rat. Day to Day Committee has gathered all of the official entries and a vote will be done in COORs next week. The mascot has NOT yet changed .... I'm changing it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.2.165 (talk) 18:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Unverified claims
editI took out this quote: "The majority of Nova students go on to a four-year college." because I have serious doubts as to its validity. I know a lot of Nova students. The majority Nova students don't even become Nova graduates within four years, and I haven't heard of ONE Nova student going on to a four-year college. You get me a scholarly study on the topic and it's set to be put back in. But until then it's wild speculation that goes against conventional wisdom. --75.151.116.106 (talk) 03:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Have you ever heard of Evergreen? Former Nova students are basically an identifiable subculture there. People from my graduating class went to places like Mills and Columbia, not to mention, you know, UW, Western, etc... I agree that "the majority of Nova students go on to a four-year college." is probably an overstatement, but so is "the majority of Nova students don't graduate on time." Plenty of people (like me) graduate normally in four years.
So lay off the haterade and deal with the fact that Nova is the best high school in Seattle (not for everyone, of course). Atinoda (talk)
Sir Mix a lot
editSir Mix A Lot was a graduate of Roosevelt High school, and not Nova. This was a rumor perpetrated by a former teacher. (97.113.159.87 (talk) 06:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC))
- A former teacher who was embezzling money from the school, no less, and always had a reputation as being not all there even before that. Really not the best source on anything. Mecha Mummy (talk) 07:04, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
