Will renovation revive DeKalb County, Ga., high school?

Cross Keys campus will receive facelift


From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Demolition at Cross Keys High School in DeKalb County, Ga., will begin soon. It will erase decades of decline at the campus, transforming brick and mortar coming apart at the seams into a newly modern school building. But the renovation -- which months ago suffered an ill start when the first architect quit, among other delays -- seems unlikely to address a deeper concern among some advocates about Cross Keys’ future as a traditional neighborhood high school.
