Firstly, there are a lot of mentions of non-notable people in this article. I personally don't see anything special about some of the people listed in the football and baseball sections. I certainly don't see the meaning of having "Hurricane(yeah right!)" in the baseball section. If that's somebody's nickname, then the person's real name needs to be included if the person were to be kept here at all. Please see WP:N. That's just for starters. The "Music Departments," "Drama club," and "Cheerleading squad" sections have POV issues and seriously need references. Stating "Sweepstakes in all areas...hopefully" appears to be a prediction of a future event. Firstly Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and secondly, that's not neutral; it could be interpreted to say "Wikipedia hopes that the Weslaco Panther Corps gets first place in everything." The Drama Club section reads like a news article, and saying how their accomplishments were "well deserved," basically saying "they finally did it" in the first sentence, and repeatedly celebrating the fact that "they have been able to make Weslaco High School History" blatantly looks biased. Referring to the Weslaco Pacesetters as "renowned" is advertisement. The JROTC section is very vague and needs to be expanded or removed as it does't clearly identify the JROTC unit in any way other than the fact that it has grown. It doesn't even have a wikilink to JROTC or explain what JROTC is. I really hate to admit it, but the only section that isn't completely in ruins is the Cheerleading squad section, and even it is unreferenced and has boarderline POV issues by saying that they are "known for their unwavering school spirit and dedication" without having references to back that up (which means that this could be considered to be one's opinion opposed to verifyable fact). I'm guessing that this article was written by newbie(s), and I know from experience that it can be easy to embarass yourself here if you don't know what your doing. If you want an example to go by, Plano Senior High School and Stuyvesant High School are featured articles. You may also find Port Charlotte High School and Balboa High School to be good examples of school articles with a "Good Article" rating. PCHS-NJROTC(Messages)20:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
