Save our high schools

The current situation concerning the Wilkes-Barre city high schools, may also be a defining moment for the Wilkes-Barre neighborhoods. The idea of consolidating the city schools has been floated around for years, but in the near future it may happen. In my opinion this would be a major mistake and deal another blow to the already declining Wilkes-Barre neighborhoods. These schools provide each section which they serve with some sort of pride, and most people in these neighborhoods associate themselves in one way or another with these schools. We are very fortunate to still have this system, I would imagine that Wilkes-Barre Area must save a good sum of money just on the transportation of these students. I have no numbers to back that up but I would be curious to see what the difference would be if we had one central high school and had to bus almost everyone to this location. In short I can not imagine Wilkes-Barre with out the Grenadier, Crusader, or the Mohawk and neither can there neighborhoods......
