Could someone please fill us in on the latest about Finney High? I saw a brief news item mentioning Det. schools to be closed, including Finney. Tried to find more details via Internet, but info seems fragmented and inconsistent. [[I did find this forum, though. )

Saw that demolition [[partial or full?) actually started last year, to replace it with a Crockett HS. Now there is to be more demo [[or not?) to build East English Village Prep Academy instead. Or, too? I’m hoping that someone closer to the situation, who has seen it unfold, can clarify.

In photos I saw of last year’s demo work, it looked as if they were working around the old powerhouse and original elementary bldg [[and Cannon Rec Ctr) that I attended, and concentrating on the '60s - '70s additions. I can imagine that the newer stuff was easier to knock down. Or did they / will they actually level it all?

[[I also attended Finney High for a short time, but not while in high school ... a story for a different post.)
