Crowded Greencastle High School Uses Landings as Classrooms
Space at Greencastle High School has been converted on north and south stair landings between floors one and two into two small offices for teachers. A third floor landing near the auditorium entrance now serves as a 14 seat classroom. The agriculture department uses the old third ward school, as space is tight. Superintendent B W Kelly says the problem grows yearly with every room in use each period and after hours. A falge community house housing the gym and workshops is proposed to relieve congestion and provide a recreation center.
