Germantown HS Still Slated to Close, Despite Superintendent's Review

School superintendent William Hite has recommended 10 schools to be taken off the district's list to be closed.

10 schools could be spared from closing, though Germantown High School isn’t one of them.

The Inquirer is reporting that a new recommendation issued by school district superintendent William Hite Jr., would take 10 city schools off the proposed closing / merging list.

The three Northwest schools slated for closure and merging, Germantown High School, Emlen Elementary and Parkway Northwest, will be voted on in March.
