I am a parent of a current HNS student and another that would be going in 2 years. I am also a Melrose elementary school teacher with many students who attended HNS and can say with full confidence that the Community will be losing a gem of the city. The school is fantastic just the way it is, but has the potential to make money with before and after hours curriculum such as classes in drama, music and art. There are also many opportunities for grants and fundraising. I feel that decisions have already been made, but when it comes to the future of our community and its youth it worth trying!

#1: - I was shocked to hear the HNS was closing. More shocked on how it went about without notifying the school and parents before they held the registration for the fall of 2014. I cannot imagine telling parents and staff that it would be closing after signing children up. It is so unethical how this was handled by the church with no regards to the staff, families and the children. The church has no idea how this impacts so many lives or did they ever take that into consideration. I don't it. I bet Bonnie Bowden would be heartbroken to know that members of the congregation voted this after building such a wonderful school.
