Just a quick comment from a parent-- and University community member-- whose kids do not attend Uni. We looked at all local (and a few non-local) high school options for our children. In spite of the perception of better academics at Uni compared to the public schools, we and our children independently concluded they would be happier at Central High. Much of the reason was due to the facilities or lack thereof-- science labs, music, drama, sports, etc. Looking at the current plans, they would seem to both keep the personal feel and tradition of Uni while at the same time adding much-needed space and modernization to the overall facilities. I for one wish it had happened several years ago!
