The above photo is of the front entrance of Western High School, located at 409 Friendway Road. Western, with approximately 1,300 students, opened in 1968, in an the era when directional schools were opening throughout Guilford County. At the time, Western was part of the county school system, but now the county and city schools have merged into one giant district.
The front façade of Western is a result of the publicly-funded renovations and additions completed in 2000. The Fighting Hornet students and their families are hoping for yet more renovations to get the main gym repaired. Hopefully, the district will find the funds to do so; although, at the moment, money for education is not in abundance in North Caroina. Let's keep hoping for a new gym, or at least a new roof, for Western.
Today is ABC Wednesday and, in our education series, W is for Western. See our A-V entries here. Stop back for X,Y,Z. That end of the alphabet is never easy!
I wonder if those indentations made it harder to build, as opposed to one long structure!
