*no that would be the bigest mestak of you life marked tree and lepanto are agenst each other they can never be put together

*Haven't lived in the area for 25 years, but growing up I couldn't stand Lepanto. But the purpose of a school is to EDUCATE your children, to PREPARE them for life after high school. Every kid is not going to be a Marcus Monk.Let's get the priorities straight. Athletics is part of school played by a select few, where ALL students particpate in education, and as a parent I'd think you'd want the best for your children. A pooling of already thin resoruces could potential give the students of the area a better change to go and make a better life.

*Think of the advantages that both schools could get

*the bigger the school, the more they can offer the kids
