[quote=Anonymous]I have heard multiple parents on various APS committees say that VHC is apparently too small for a full size high school because there is not enough room for field space. However, it would be big enough for a middle school. So, in theory, you could build a new middle school at VHC and then turn Kenmore into a HS. That proposal was floating around on one of the earlier APS CIP decks. I think it got killed though for lack of funding and also the fact that it would take too long to complete. (You would need to build the middle school out, move the Kenmore MS kids to VHC, and then start construction on turning Kenmore into a high school building.)  This is all second hand info.

The SB and CB plan makes high school start to sound a lot like a college set-up, only without the dorms and buildings in close proximity to each other like they would be on a university campus. I can see that working for 18 year olds, but that is a lot of freedom for an immature freshman. I don't love the idea of 9th grade academy, but I'd rather have that than a 14 year old wandering around the county all day who may or may not actually be attending class.[/quote]
