Highland Park tidbits

While reporting Monday on the new Mayfield Activity Center, I learned about a few details that you might otherwise overlook.

The next time you go to Highland Park Independent School District, 15300 E. Amarillo Blvd., take a look at the outside windows over the old elementary gym. It's on the northeast side of the campus. Inside the windows are large photographs of students from the district. You can't see the pictures inside the building.

And for the past several years, Highland Park has continued to add classroom additions to the elementary school, on the east side of the campus. The new Mayfield Activity Center caps the stretch of classrooms, making for one lengthy hallway.
