Your right. They there should only be 1 or 2 high-schools in Stanly County. I was against consolidation in the past when Albemarle was going to shut down, but I see it will greatly benefit the schools and kids. Over here in Cabarrus County where my kids go to, the school system is light years ahead as far as I can see. I've been nothing but satisfied. Stanly County has some major issues....just sad...
