Academic Magnet High School - Stay at The Naval Base

 As a parent of Academic Magnet High School student,  I have been listening to the pro and cons of moving Academic Magnet High School (AMHS) to the new building and sharing the campus with The School of the Arts (SOA).  What makes AMHS and SOA great schools is not the buildings but culture of each school.  The vision and culture of both schools are unique and the merging of the two on same campus will erode their individual cultures.   Look at the corporate world,  every time you bring to 2 companies together to share a facility,  the culture of those 2 companies erodes and they lose their identity.  Culture is what makes AMHS and SOA what they are today,  not the buildings.   My vote is to keep Academic Magnet High School at the Old Naval Base.
