Marion-Franklin High School is one of many buildings that the Columbus City Schools may shut down.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Marion-Franklin High School students met with Columbus City Schools Board President Christina Vera on Tuesday to explain why they don't want to see their school close.
“It’s a culture thing," said junior Aaris Billingsley."We built a culture here. The students that came in when I came I feel like we wanted to change what Marion-Franklin was."For many, it’s a family tradition to attend and graduate the school. Kyonna Johnson, a junior at the high school said she won’t go to South High School if Marion-Franklin shuts down.
“Their opinions matter, their voices matter in this process. They shared about what they want to see in their high school experience,” said Vera.
