Hillsborough High School is too small for the growing number of kids and adding on to it is just not going to be enough.
Every year with the increasing number of students the township only adds on to the original building. There have been two new additions to the high school in the past four years. Even with these new buildings, there still is not enough room in the building for the students.
The newest addition to the school stretches out toward Raider Boulevard and has taken up parking lot space. If a new addition is needed to be built, where will it be placed?
Athletic fields and the senior parking lot is what is around the building, so they would have to be taken away in order to put the new addition in.
Even with these new wings, the school is still to small for the number of students. A new wing every couple of years will not solve the problem of the size of the school in relation to the number of students.
By putting in an annex, it’s only a temporary solution because the number of students greatly increases every year. This solution is not a good one for many years to come.
The size of the school should accommodate the population of students attending the school. A new wing could have been a good solution the first time but a new wing every time one is needed doesn’t solve the problem.
Every new wing cost more money for the people. Building a new addition is not a good solution but an OK one.
Hillsborough should build a whole new high school on one of the many pieces of land in this town. The new school could have what everyone wants.
It will cost a lot of money but it will be worth it for the future students that will be attending the school. The school now is small and can not accommodate the students but the new school would. It could be designed any way and still have everything the school has now, and still be more spacious for all of the people in the building.
Building a new high school would be an excellent idea for the growing number of students in the high school.
