Clearing up Construction Confusion
The Humanities building, one of the oldest buildings on campus, will be prepped for teardown beginning this summer. "There's so much wrong with my room, my AC doesn't work, there's ants that come in, when it rains it leaks, so I'm not really going to miss that," said Humanities teacher Ms. Malina, who also attended Hamilton as a student. "What I will miss are the memories that have consumed this room, but I guess you bring those memories with you."
