Controversy Returns to Winchester's Thayer High

By Dan Gorenstein on Monday, July 14, 2003.

In the past 25 years, Winchesterï¿½s high school has gone through several transformations.

It went from fights in the halls and high dropout rates to a nationally recognized school.

Recently Thayer has flirted with losing its accreditation thanks to a crumbling building, and poor curriculum.

This spring the town narrowly voted to close the school, and send students to Keene.

In part two of our series on Thayer High, New Hampshire Public Radioï¿½s Dan Gorenstein reports that decision remains divisive.
