- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Verrado High School
- Comment: If it can be arranged, I would like this to run as a special-occasion hook on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes (February 11) or on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (January 1).

Overall: @Red-tailed hawk: Intereseting read. It's wonderful to see how far the article has come in shuch a short time. I'm going to assume good faith with the offline source, but other than, everything chekcs out. Approving; I'll let the DYK promoters deal with the special date request.

@Red-tailed hawk and Eccekevin: Slight problem here in that the hook actually contains more information than the article does. Would you be able to add in the article, at least one sentence explaining the significance of the original grotto and the story re: Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Bernadette? At the moment, the article seems to assume that the reader already knows the story, or that they will click to another page to read about it. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

@Cielquiparle: I've added a mention of Saint Bernadette within the context of the original Lourdes Grotto. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
