(LaCrosse, IN) - There is a proposal to relocate La Crosse High School built in 1915.

Tri-Township Schools Superintendent Kelly Shepherd says he knows the emotional attachment

is very high but early estimates place the cost of saving the three story building at $6 million

or more.

The cost of a new high school facility that would be added to Wanatah School looks to be

roughly $3 million based on preliminary figures, he said.

Shepherd said the savings is  huge for one of the smallest school districts in the state

without a large tax base to offset the cost.

If a new school goes up, Shepherd says the beloved Hoosiers like gymnasium beside the

existing school would remain open for use by the school district.

The gym was built in 1949 is known for its non- regulation size basketball court and noise from fans packed Into tight quarters.

Public meetings at LaCrosse High School are scheduled Thursday and on March 4 at 6 p.m.

each evening.

When a decision will be made is not known but could happen sometime in March.
