Welcome to the Wiles Hill
School Website.
We dedicate this Website to showing
and telling the story, including the recent reincarnation, of "The
Little School With The Big Heart".

The sun set on Wiles Hill School in 1999
when the
Monongalia County Board of
Education
voted to consolidate Wiles
Hill with
North Elementary School.
The silver lining in
that dark cloud is that the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners
of Morgantown (BOPARC)
bought the school and playgrounds in late 1999 and made the school the
center piece of the newly created Wiles Hill
Park. More
recently, Wiles Hill School was named the new BOPARC Senior-Community
Center.

Proposed Addition: ADA Access Entrance |
|
 |
The image to the left, along with the two
images
below, depicts a new
ADA
access entrance, lobby, restrooms and kitchen
for Wiles Hill School. Given the outcome of value engineering on the
original bid package, BOPARC expects to re-bid Scheme D by mid to late
April. We will keep you posted. With Financial
Help
from folk like yourself, we expect to build this new addition in the near
future. In the mean time,
BOPARC
and volunteers from the Wiles Hill community will move forward with
renovation
of the existing building, including handicap access, with money
we have in hand. |

Proposed Addition: Lobby Scheme |
|
 |
In fact, we are well underway with
renovations
to the old school building that
includes Handicap Access. You can view our renovation
plans in the Photo Gallery under "Concept Improvement
Plan", and
in the other photo galleries you can follow the progress of our Renovation
projects. We expect to open our doors to seniors and the larger
community in March 2007.
Our
photo
galleries
will be updated weekly. |

Proposed Addition: Kitchen Scheme |
|
 |
Thanks to a generous allocation to
BOPARC
in
Morgantown's general fund budget for 2006-2007, we will be able to
include the new kitchen (left) in our
renovation projects
for this year.
