• This is a fantastic historical article just for covering six years of a school's history. I'm hoping there are more on the way after seeing the first two entries in the set, because you should be very proud. New enough, long enough, QPQ present. All hooks are cited: AGF on offline sources. Now I want to read more about this topic, and I was truly disappointed to see there wasn't more after this! Please do ping me when you finish other articles in this set. Raymie (t • c) 06:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
