Wilkinsburg Community Says Goodbye To Students’ Safe Place

Posted on June 3, 2016 by marlee

June 3, 2016: Interim Wilkinsburg High School Principal Shawn Johnston’s voice reverberated through the intercom into bare, empty hallways on the second to last day of school. Packing boxes had arrived in the office.

Students weren’t in the building as teachers finished grades and prepared for the school to permanently close following Friday’s 7 p.m. graduation. Their last full day in the school was Wednesday. Read more & listen to the store from 90.5 WESA.
