Superintendent’s Message

Remembering the Old

When school started on August 31, 2009 at McCall-Donnelly High School there must have been a collective sigh of relief throughout the community. I am referring to the sigh of relief that comes from a community knowing that their sons and daughters no longer attend classes in a hazardous facility.

The McCall Elementary/ McCall-Donnelly High School building had faulty wiring, an inadequate fire alarm system, and no fire suppression capabilities. In the past few years there were several false alarms and a couple of actual fires. On the last day of school last year, the fire department responded to the smell of smoke but could not locate the source. Standing outside the school that afternoon I overheard one fireman exclaim to another, “I’ll be glad when this building gets leveled.” Demolition began the next week.
