The Board is concerned that rumors in the community assumed the school would be merged with JF Webb High School next year- this is in fact not the case, and furthermore, there are no plans to merge the schools anytime soon. We look forward to the continued success of this school and support the efforts of all of our schools to serve all students to the best of their ability.”
