The new proposed Poolesville High School meets or exceeds our expectations in many ways, but the plans fall short when it comes to gym space. PHS has just as many kids participating in sports and fitness activities as the larger county high schools. A modern-sized gym is a must.

A wellness center for PHS will help ensure our youth have the support they need to cope with anxiety. As mental health issues soar among high schoolers, it should be a no-brainer for the PHS redesign to include a wellness center.
