Five Laurens
Area Schools
To Consolidate
LAURENS - Plans for financ
ing a proposed $2.5 million com
prehensive high school for Lau
rens School District 55 were out
lines at an open meeting of the
board of trustees Monday night.
District 55 Supt. K. C. Hanna
said architects are working on
preliminary plans for the school,
to serve up to 2,000 students.
The school will be built in
phases, Hanna said, as the money
becomes available. Phase one
will be the classroom section.
The school will be built on 70
acres of land already bought by
the trustees on the Princeton
Road, .6 of a mile from Laurens
city limits.
Hanna said a survey made of
district 55 schools recommended
the consolidation of the five high
schools in the district.
The five high schools in the dis
trict are Ford, Hickory Tavern,
Gray Court-Owings, Laurens and
Sanders.
To maintain a program of in
struction that meets standards of
accreditation in five high schools
is *so costly as to be prohibi
tive,” Hanna said.
Hanna said $1 million in bonds
can be issued in the school dis
trict without a bond referendum.
About $500,000 is available in
state school building funds, and
trustees have applied for $100,000
in vocational aid, which is pri
marily federal funds channeled
through the state.
