School Reorganization Aims Larger, Unified Grading System
The Board of Directors passed a resolution to unite grammar and high schools in the present large rooms, under Mrs Gregg. The plan moves the high school to the new building by January, creating room at the North School for younger students and reducing cross-city transfers. The three main buildings will accommodate all, with one room per teacher and two graded pupils per room, and a fixed progression for the high school, now 113 students and growing.
