  1. The entire school needs a total re-do. I predict all invovled will be disappointed at how little of a make over the school as a whole is actually getting. They just rebuilt Palmetto HS and it was 10 year newer than Gables. As the county’s largest school with close to 3,000 students it is not getting near the attention nor its fair share of the bond money yet newer, lower performing schools are getting completely replaced? So we rebuild the schools in the worst part of town but ignore the schools in the best part of town – interesting concept.
