Construction Officially Underway at High School

After years of discussion, there is finally evidence that a new high school will be built on Church Street.

Demolition of the Wilmington High School gymnasium began this week with students gone for February vacation, and on Wednesday the building began to come down brick by brick.

For interested residents, pieces of the basketball court will be sold individually, with proceeds going to pay for the September 11 memorial that will be built at the new school.
