High School Alumni Association, said she’s received inquiries about the school from across the country and there’s a lot of interest in seeing the old high school.
“People will be making some trips to come see it one more time,” she said.
Visitors can park in the high school park­ing lot. There is no charge and pictures are encouraged, but visitors are asked not to take anything. Because the demolition is set for later this year, the lockers have already been removed.
“It’s going to look a little different to people from what they remember because they are going to be getting the building ready for demolition,” Brewer said.

“Unless they are unable to meet the obliga­tion of tax incentives, there’s really no need for us to get involved,” Clough said.
Prior to the layoff, American Greetings employed about 1,700 people at its world headquarters in Westlake.
City Finance Director Prashant Shah planned to meet with representatives from American Greetings late last week.
A list of questions was sent to American Greetings’ media representative requesting further information, but the company will release only a written statement about the layoffs.
“This is a difficult decision, necessitated by the changes in the retail marketplace,” it reads. “Nevertheless, American Greetings retains a portfolio of great brands and prod­ucts, and we remain committed to investing in research and product development to meet the needs of consumers and our retail partners. With these moves, we’re poised to continue our historic success and leadership in the greeting cards industry.”
“Changes” are possible by the end of sum­mer in the company’s production facilities, the statement said. Those employees laid off had the option of taking severance pay and use outplacement services to assist finding a new career.
“The company is committed to treating all of its associates with respect and compas­sion,” the statement reads.
