The Need for a Gymnasium

We are in our 25th year of operation - without any indoor physical education space!  In the early days of HCS, our basement was a large, unfinished open area.  We fashioned all sorts of creative indoor activities to supplement our outdoor PE classes.  That space has long since been filled with classrooms full of eager children.  Our space for physical education is now defined, not by walls and a roof, but by the weather.

For years educational experts have recognized the many health, social and academic benefites of regular physical exercise.  We desperately need a multi-purpose facility that can accommodate our student body.

We call it a multi-purpose facility for good reason.  Not only will it provide the space critical to our physical education needs, but it will facilitate practice and scheduling for our basketball team and enable us to expand our extra curricular activities.  It will also provide the added benefit of being able to assemble our entire school family in one place at one time for school dinners, programs and assemblies.

For several years, we have participated in the program sponsored by Owensboro Medical Health System designed to assess the physical fitness of the children and young people of our communities.  According to the latest statistics, the trend is not encouraging.

The health and fitness of our children are actually declining.  Well-planned PE programs are more essential than ever, and critical to those programs is a facility to accommodate them.

 It's time to stop dreaming and start building.
