Westwind Preparatory Academy
The school was located on a 5-acre site near 19th Avenue and Northern in Phoenix, with student housing adjacent to the campus.To date, four WPA alumni have gone on to the NBA: Greg Smith, Jamaal Franklin, Tony Snell, and Gary Payton II.During the 2012–13 season, there were only two Chinese players competing at the Division One level, one of which, Ted Wang, is a WPA alumni.The situation with Westwind and The Orme School of Arizona prompted changes in AIA policies about international students on sports teams.But that was short-lived, mainly because academics didn't line up with the NCAA Clearinghouse, forcing players, such as former Arizona State forward Zylan Cheatham, to retake courses in order to catch up and be Division I college eligible after graduating.
