[Surprisingly, yes it does.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Blue_High_School) Just a single line, but all the same. ---

It’s in [this list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_in_New_Zealand), but no page for it. I notice they finally have [a website for my school](http://www.eohs.school.nz/), which took long enough. It unfortunately is full of dead links and is pretty much useless, which is an embarrassment, but then it isn’t a school known for producing high calibre students. ---

Well, there’s a whole page on the Boys School, but not even a mention of the Girls School. Then again the Boys School has it’s own website and the Girls School doesn’t. It’s like we don’t even exist ☹ This just made me realize that next year will be my 20 year reunion - I have to go in the corner and cry now. ---

No, but they do have an article on [J.J. Redick](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:J._J._Redick), who went there. He was in half of my classes one year, and I refuse to comment either way on the marijuana thing for lack of desire to be sued, but I can attest to the fact that he is, by all rights, an insufferable arrogant bastard. ---

[A stub article only.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Street_High_School) It does link through to the school’s website though. :: looks at school’s website :: Man, I don’t remember the school mascot looking that lame. And who built a carpark on the front lawn? ---

[Yes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towson_High_School) It even mentions Glen Milstead as one of my school’s “well-known alumni.” Bonus points if you know who he is without looking him up. ---

I went to two different high schools. One is listed. The other is not, although the neighborhood it is located in, and shares a name with, is. I suppose the high hit rate can probably be attributed to the number of high school students with internet access at school. The chances that one of them would make up a wikipedia page about the school, at some time, seems high. 🙂 ---

Nope, although it’s in a list of the state’s schools. I guess no one has enough school spirit to type up an article. ---

Amazingly enough, [it does](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossmoyne_Senior_High_School). Yeah, the government likes to toss money at us. Yeah, we win a lot of crap. I still think our success is due to the Insane Asian Parents going to great lengths to enrol their Insane Asian Offspring here due to our perceived superiority rather than any REAL difference in quality of instruction and all that. Though I did have some awesome teachers. ---
