An 80-acre parcel off Route 3 just south of Head’s Pond has been offered by Manchester SandenCommunityServer 2.1 (Build: 60809.935)http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/hooksett_editor/archive/2008/10/08/Land-available-for-possible-Hooksett-high-school.aspx#11522Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:41:18 GMT7b375189-dcc7-4af7-b4d3-2fc751a0220e:11522Harold KozlowskiHaving been through one case of "high school fever" in Hooksett a few years back, I hope town citizens consider the idea carefully, especially if you have grade school children who are years from high school. In the late 90's the big selling point was the fear of sending Hooksett kids into those "inner city" Manchester schools. Having only moved to the state a few years earlier, this was the only picture of what West and Central were like. My neighbors, those who passionately supported the idea of a Hooksett (plus Candia, Deerfield, and Auburn) High School, made it sound like we were sending our kids to the South Bronx. Only later, once the high school plan was defeated, and we got to tour Central and West for ourselves, did we discover just how good those schools were, and our daughter received a terrific, well-rounded education. So please consider what our children would miss and get in its place in a Hooksett school before making a decision. And please go to a West or Central open house and see the schools for yourself first.
