Backwoods Wrote:I'm not so sure that's completely true,HDE,about the schools fielding a team only 4 years out from consolidation but it could be true if the population continues to dwindle. If it does,don't you have to ask,why build such a large,multi million dollar school,that in only 4 years has lost more than a third of it's enrollment? If the present trend continues,and all indicators say it will,10 years from now the halls will look empty in such a large building. That's even if Harlan High School were to join the ranks. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. I think HHS will survive in one form or another,football or no football. Their enrollment,although down somewhat, doesn't seem to have suffered such a dip.
Why should Harlan County apologize for finally having something nice? Did you pay more in taxes because of it? I didn't.
While other counties had nice facilities built, Harlan County hadn't had a new high school since 1966. If the present trend continues, we may have 1,000 students at HCHS in 20 years, instead of the 1,200 we have now. I doubt the halls will look empty, even with only 1,000 students. Would you prefer everyone being shifted to James A. Cawood so that money could be used for another school in Lexington or another road in Somerset?
Only in Harlan County would we have people questioning why we have something nice in our county. We have one of the nicest schools, one of the nicest gyms and will soon have one of the nicest football facilities in the state. It's about time, and I'm happy we have them.
