School Renovations
The North Hills School District is in the midst of a long-term elementary facilities plan that calls for the renovation and expansion of McIntyre and Highcliff elementary schools as well as the renovation of Ross Elementary.
The end result of the facilities plan will be four comparable elementary schools (Ross, McIntyre, Highcliff and West View) with estimated enrollments of 500–550 students. The plan includes the closing of three small schools: Northway, Perrysville and Seville.
The Northway Elementary School attendance area merged with McIntyre Elementary in August 2009. Perrysville and Seville will close at the end of the 2009–10 school year. Students from Highcliff also went to Northway in 2010 due to expansions and renovations.
North Hills Senior High School recently underwent a $26.5 million renovation that concluded in 2007. Built in 1972, this is the first major renovation of the facility.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
