Show WedThursFri, April 7-9, 2004 The Park Record A-11 STUDENT TO STUDENT Remodeling my beloved school By DAVID GITLIN Record Intern On Dec. 2 of last year, the school board held a meeting in which several renovations and possible pos-sible changes concerning Park City High school were brought up. The list was long, covering all aspects of necessary replacement and upgrades. Some of the major things proposed pro-posed were the removal of the secondary sec-ondary gym and improvement on the new one, a technology upgrade, many changes to the lighting, etc. Most of the proposed items had to do with tweaks rather than massive overhauls, since the point of the changes were to fix what's wrong and add on what's right, not to flatten and build a new building. To do so would be both unnecessary and prohibitively prohibitive-ly expensive. Many of the changes were suggested sug-gested simply to spruce up the school and make it look nicer, such as an Olympic memory area or an increase in the amount of artwork in the school. Renovations were also proposed to make things look more relaxed and make student feel more comfortable. I recently had the opportunity to look over this list and form my own opinions of these propositions as an outgoing senior at PCHS. With college quickly sneaking up on me and the fourth quarter beginning at . the end of spring break, I am forced to look back on not only my memories at the high school, but the building itself and the different areas within it where my memories happened. Sydney Brown is another outgoing out-going senior at the high school. "The changes absolutely need to happen," she said. "But they don't cover everything. The things that really concern me are parking, temperature fluctuations, and that one of my teacher's ceiling is falling apart from water damage." This is true; I recently had the same teacher and was privy to the daily swelling and sagging of the tile above my head. As for parking, arjiong the changes proposed were a probable underground or hidden parking structure and a removal of the "islands" currently in the parking lot. This would certainly address the illegal parking and mass crowding to exit when school ends. "Frankly, how pretty the school is doesn't matter that much in the long run," Brown continued. Annie Dillon is currently a junior jun-ior at PCHS.. "Students won't really care the changes unless it takes money away from extracurricular activities activi-ties or things that will impact them directly," she said. I, myself, looked carefully over the list and I am lukewarm about the changes proposed. While I certainly cer-tainly agree with changes in the water system and a broad update of aging equipment, some of the ( Lf II i ITJ other things seemed superficial in nature and would not help or hinder hin-der the students over the next few years. In my opinion, the school board should address problems involving safety and maintenance rather than Astroturf and the Olympics. Then again, these propositions are only in the early stages and in the end the administration will do whatever they think is necessary to improve conditions at PCHS. ; We'll beat our licensed competitors' price by 1 5 Serving Greater Salt Lake & Park City.
