"The school is named after Henry M. Gunn (1898-1988), who served as the Palo Alto superintendent from 1950-1961. During his tenure he saw the school district expand from 5,500 students to 14,000. He also oversaw the expansion of 17 new schools, and is credited with the establishment of De Anza College and Foothill College, two local community colleges. In 1964, the Palo Alto Unified School District announced it would name its third high school after him."
The above segment seems it should belong under a new separate entry for the person (Henry M. Gunn), and this article (Gunn High School) should simply link to it:

[edit] Student Pranks
I have added info about the prank in which some students hijacked the P.A. system. I do not exactly remember if this was 1987 or 1988, but I can absolutely confirm that it happened having been a student at the time. I'm sure the event was discussed in The Oracle if you need some sort of citation. 69.104.57.32 04:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Daisy Robinton
69.107.68.1 just removed a line under Notable alumni saying "Daisy Robinton, class of 2005, national Abercrombie and Fitch model". (http://en.wikipedia.org../../../g/u/n/Gunn_High_School_cdba.html). I'm letting this edit stay since I can't verify that she was. –dto 19:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Campus Traditions
Is the seniors ripping up homework tradition really on the last day of school for seniors? I thought it might be before that... –dto 00:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- It would be advisable to find a verifiable reference for these uncited claims. --Dystopos 02:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

- Might be kind of hard for something like "Campus Traditions," but I agree. I'm going to try to verify the claim (which I didn't make) with some current students/faculty. –dto 03:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- You might want to read up on Wikipedia:Verifiability. Asking around isn't really going to cut it. --Dystopos 04:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia
I just removed an unsourced comment by 71.131.206.81 about Cindy Sheehan coming to Spangenberg to discuss her book in 2006. I do not recall such an incident, though it may well have occurred. —dto (talkcontribs) 03:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
