Where did Tony Soprano go to high school?

Where did Tony Soprano go to high school? There are a # of references to his high-school days throughout the span of The Sopranos, but David Chase et al. are surprisingly silent on the precise name/locale of the school. (There are some ambiguous and conflicting hints about the location of his mother's house - Nutley? Verona? - but it's not even clear that she owned the house when Tony was a teenager.) One visual clue, however, gives us the definitive answer: When Tony is at his mother's house going through a box of old possessions, he comes across his varsity letter and it's unmistakable: the maroon and white superimposed W - O of West Orange High School. (Season 3, episode 2, 32 minutes 19 seconds into the show)
