Talk:Seton Hall Preparatory School

Untitled

What about sports at the prep...espcecially baseball. Who were some of the top players? Wasn't there some major record-holder in late 80s? 71.172.52.12 22:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I went to high school at The Prep. I loved The Prep. I have no negative feelings toward The Prep. Also, I see nothing factually wrong with the article in its present state. Still, doesn't this read more like a brochure than an encyclopedia article? Should that be the case? Trigear 03:40, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Seton Hall is not that prep ... it is Seton Hall or The Hall

Seton Hall Prep is VERY often referred(usually by people from West Orange, Livingston, Verona area) to as The Prep. The Hall and Seton Hall are terms from the students that come from farther towns. And don't edit out previous user's comments, just add on to them.--Wild One 02:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Alumni here, and Seton Hall Prep was often refered to as "The Prep". crozewski 14:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Wild One is right. SHP is referred to as The Prep. In two years of being recruited, four years as a student, and six years as an alumni, with all the newsletters, newspapers, paperwork, forms, documents, meetings, rallies, homecomings, reunions, masses, plays, and conversations that I've gotten, read, been to, held, been part of, etc., I have never once (except here) seen or heard SHP referred to as "The Hall", though I have seen and heard it referred to as "The Prep" innumerable times, including by the students, faculty, staff, and even the headmaster himself. Any official documentation from Seton Hall Prep that I've seen in eleven years of dealing with SHP, when it refers to itself informally, does so always as "The Prep", never as "The Hall". Not only do I see your changes as factually incorrect, anonymous (68.187.225.51), I also don't think they were worth making EVEN IF they did have some merit. This is a non-issue. On top of that, you've made the same changes to the page twice, despite being reverted the first time, didn't explain your changes the first time, BARELY explained your changes the second time (if you want to call your cryptic comment an explanation), deleted MY comments without reason, and didn't sign your own. I consider your changes vandalism, and have reverted the article to the last "good" version as such. All that aside, though, my question still stands: doesn't this read more like it was copied out of a brochure than it should? Isn't there some sort of bias being represented here?

There is something about the article that I can't put my finger on, I know what you mean, but I'm not feeling the brochure thing...what do you mean, could you give an example of what parts? It also seems to me as if a lot more could be said about the school, I just wouldn't know where to start, not to mention I'm lazy. Speaking of my laziness, I should be writing an essay for my History class right now...--Wild One 00:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

We could go into detail about the school's sports program, particularly the basketball, football, baseball, and hockey teams (I recall those being the big ones back when I was a student). Perhaps the schools' drama and theater program (teachers Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Neglia have been running those for over a decade, and they are locally notable for their high quality relative to their production levels and budgets). We could also mention the debate team, or the recent renovations, the sports complex (did they ever finish that?). I remember from when I was a student that there was a display up showcasing a number of published authors who had graduated from the Prep. Perhaps, in that spirit, a section featuring notable graduates? Mike_Glita graduated from here in 2000. Anne Hathaway (actress) did plays here, prior to her TV and movie career. Bill_Bellamy is a famous graduate. Marcus_Tony-El is also a graduate. Those are just off the top of my head. Trigear 18:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, the diversity section needs work. Aside from a few grammatical and structural errors, it's also a bit awkward, no? Trigear 05:13, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
