Why would we not build a second high school?

So why would you not build a new high school if 60 percent of your voters said ‘“let us work together and make our community a better place to live, grow, and enjoy our families and friends?” We know we have problems with our current high school but how deep are these problems? We now have approaching 8,500 students in the district with about 2,300 high school students attending a school built for about 1,600. We have limited infrastructure with an inadequate commons where our students are encouraged to leave the campus to have lunch, an auditorium that only seats 500, and a gym that seats about 1,500. These facilities are unable to support the students and adding classrooms will not improve the infrastructure’s daily ability to provide the basic education support for each student.

Curtain Calls: Hall of Famers highlight top Steelers picks

PITTSBURGH (AP) — BEST FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: DT Joe Greene. Before Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Troy Polamalu, Ben Roethlisberger, there was Joe Greene. The origins of a half-century of almost metronome-like success began in 1969 when first-year head coach Chuck Noll advocated for the perennial also-rans to take Greene fourth overall. “Mean Joe” served as the anchor of the “Steel Curtain” defense that helped the franchise win four Super Bowls by the end of the 1970s.
