Is the GCLC considered a continuation of Garfield HS?

[edit]

Is the Garfield Community Learning Center considered a continuation of Garfield High School or are they considered two separate entities with the same name? I'm trying to understand what the consensus is. Thank you. Frank12 (talk) 15:52, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the district has ever officially said it is or it isn't, but it definitely has the Garfield HS legacy, based on the "About" page which just cites the dedication of the original GHS. My understanding from how the sources presented it (particularly the article about the naming of it to Garfield CLC) and why I shifted the articles was that it's considered a separate entity with a similar name and legacy since Garfield was merged with Kenmore and that was considered a "new" school. As such Garfield CLC is a continuation of Kenmore-Garfield, and the original Garfield High School closed in 2017. I could see how consensus might feel otherwise, though, since Garfield CLC has all but assumed the identity and legacy of the former Garfield High School with the same team name, colors, and site. I know in some other cases, like Lorain High School, the article covers the original LHS and the current one as a single entity even though there's a gap of 15 years between the two and the current LHS uses a different team name and different colors. That could easily be separated into two articles, though. --JonRidinger (talk) 17:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
