==High Schools== If you are going to have a section on high schools, then information on more than one should be added. Tables are completely unnecessary. Right now it reads as if either: Hunting Hills is the ''only'' high school in Red Deer OR, Hunting Hills is somehow special or magic. Also, why not add info about Red Deer College and other post-secondaries. I think that this information is more valuable than a list of high schools. -Tyson2k
