Get over yourself buddy. The page is for school, not for self indulgence.

History

Having been opened in 1955, as a military training facility during the cold war era, Scona has been around much longer than many of the other schools in the Edmonton area. Due to the age of Scona, there are a few ghosts that are rumored to wander the halls and grounds of the school. Possibly the most notable ghost at Scona is a girl by the name of Emily. Emily used to be a student at Scona, and was very active in the drama program. During a play that Emily was participating in, a stage light fell from the house bar, it struck and killed her on the stage. Still to this day there are often problems with the house bar, and the stage elevator that Emily so often liked to ride.

I removed the above because there's no references and it contradicts the school opening date. --Usgnus 03:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This particular school did open in 1955, this being the newer building. The original Strathcona had opened in 1908 as stated in Establishment date, now known as "Old Scona" (OSA) reference: [[1]], noting the first paragraph.

School Ghost

I am asking users on this page not to remove the information about the ghost as it is an important 'tidbit' of information about student activities in the school. I would like to say as a current member of Strathcona's Technical Theater Crew I like to see any mention of the arts at scona as we have a vibrant and very successful arts program that should be lauded just as much as sports or academics! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.156.182.19 (talk) 04:04, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

theater

please do not remove the theater section, and if you do feel the need to do so also remove the sections on athletics and academics, because all three sections are an integral part of the school and if one does not belong on wiki then none of them do!

Athletics

This section needs proper citation, both for what is up and for the changes that have been attempted to be put up. Sconite 04:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
