Fair use rationale for Image:Aurora high school logo.gif

Image:Aurora high school logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Interesting facts section needs citations and should be broken up into multiple sections

There is mention of well known individuals visiting to school, although there is no citation from any sources. There is also many mentions of students who have ranked highly in the OFSAA Championships, yet there is no reference for these facts. I would suggest separating the interesting facts section into smaller sections, as it covers a few different topics and could be more organized. Tmos9 (talk) 23:02, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Out of date information in infobox

The school website listed in the infobox is the school's old website and should be updated. The principle as well as the total enrolment should also be updated. In addition, the two sourced cited are about 6 years old and should be updated. Tmos9 (talk) 23:02, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

School's history

Looking at this heavily tagged article. First sentence of history currently reads "The original Aurora High School was built in 1888 on Wells Street.[citation needed] This building was rebuilt in 1923.[citation needed]". Found this reference at Canada's Historic Places, which looks like a reliable source. It reads "The Church Street School built in 1885 to replace a smaller brick school on the same site, is one of the earliest remaining schools in Aurora, from which it gains its strong historical value. Officially opened in September 1886 as an elementary school, the Church Street School housed the students of the Aurora High School from 1888 to 1892, and again in the 1920’s when the Wells Street High School burned down." So does this mean that there was no separate building for the Aurora High School from its founding until 1892?

Also, the article on Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School says that it "started in 1888 as Aurora High School on the top floor of the Aurora Public School located at 22 Church Street". Does this mean that Williams and Aurora started as one school? Tacyarg (talk) 00:31, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
