Where Should the New Doherty High Go?
That’s the question a public meeting hopes to answer regarding the construction of the new high school. The meeting will take place at the current Doherty Memorial High School on Monday, May 13 at 6:30 PM.
Discussion will likely surround whether or not the new building should be constructed on the adjacent athletic field or someplace entirely different in the neighborhood.
