The Ways in Which the School Known as Wilmington High School Can Be Changed For the Better and Not For the Worse

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to come to a new land and start a new town, it is important to have public education facilities. However, over time these educational facilities cannot facilitate education due to their decrepit condition and antiquated technology and lack of extracurricular activities. Schools such as those are an injustice to the pupils who deserve a place where they can learn. One such school is Wilmington High School, an absolutely terrible excuse for an institution of secondary education. If this school does not have immediate changes made swiftly, it will fall into an abyss of student apathy and neglect, until it would be better to burn the school down and collect insurance money than to let the nine-hundred or so students complete their education. There is one aspect of Wilmington High School that is not absolutely terrible, and that is its location. The school’s central location is great for commuting to and from the school and reduces traffic because cars do not have to drive far away. However, the one good thing about the school is actually not really that good. By being in the center of the town, there is not that much room for expansion. This lack of space, would destroy most plans for additions because of the ensuing controversies surrounding the eviction of nearby residents of their land. So, even the one good thing about Wilmington High School is actually mixed with bad. One of the most important things that need to be changed is the building itself. In some towns, the schools are symbols of pride and show the town’s investment in future generations. Wilmington is not one of those towns. The school is nin such a runined state with its missing floor tiles, bad wall color, and confusing layout, that it is bad for learning. The best solution would be to tear down the school and build a new one. The new school would take up almost approximately the same amount of space as the current one, however the new school would be much more capacious. The new school would be four stories tall with an underground garage. The underground garage would eliminate the need for any surface parking lots meaning that the parking lot flanking the gym could be plowed over and turned into a garden or something of that nature. Each floor in the school would be set back ten feet from the previous floor, which would create a terraced ziggurat shaped building.
