Friends in the Right Places

Whitman High School and its cluster feeding schools are so lucky. This cluster has two Board of Education Members - one current Pat O'Neill and past member Shirley Brandman - are residents of the Whitman Cluster and are parents of children who attended the school.

 So - it should not be surprising that whenever Whitman wants something - poof - it happens.

Just 100 students over enrollment and Whitman is up for another renovation/expansion. Lucky for Whitman, the school is next to a former MCPS elementary school. So - say goodbye to the elementary school. Plans are to demolish the building and let Whitman grow!

Really - how crowded is your neighborhood high school - and can it expand by elbowing out its neighbors?
