A sad end for a fine institution...

[kyugy]

It was announced yesterday that my old high school will be closing it's doors at the end of this year and never opening them again. Bayley Ellard has finally been shut down by the diocese. It was not the finest institution ever as far as academics go, and the student body had a higher average of delinquents, sex fiends and drug users, but that place was family. I loved that school, and I'm very sad to see it go. I can honestly say that had I not gone to Bayley I probably would have committed homicide or suicide in high school. It was the first school I ever went to that I didn't drea going to. Yeah, it had it's bad moments, but the good ones far outweighed it.

But the diocese has bills to pay. They already sold some of the land to a nursing bome and got a boat load of money for it. And now the diocese just wants to screw us to get the land and sell it off. And I'm bitter about this. We weren't the most prestigious high school in the diocese, but we were solid, committed and a great institution.

I think I need to go up there and steal some books from the library...
