New enough and large enough expansion (and of impressive size). QPQ present. AGF on both hooks' offline source (Kidder). I'd probably prefer "high school" for a US biography, but that's a wording decision for ALT1. No textual concerns I see. This is ready. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:14, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. FYI, I chose "secondary school" because Boston Latin is grades 7–12 but I am not particularly opposed to "high school". --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:32, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
