The
Hollywood School House
:
|
|
The
Hollywood School House, formerly The Hollywood Little
Red School House, is situated on Highland Avenue near
Fountain. From the outside, it looks exactly like
its old name . . . a very quaint, very small, and
very red school house, but when you enter the campus
you realize why they changed the name. It has grown
considerably over the years.

The
campus extends back an entire city block and is over
half a city block in width. It also has its own 35 ft.
pool. When you arrive at the front desk, you must sign
in before they buzz you into the main school through
a locked door. Once in the school, you realize how deceiving
the front of the building is . . . it goes on and on.
There are four separate buildings:
Building 1 houses the preschoolers and the administration
offices; Building 2 is the home of junior kindergarten
and the kindergartners; Building 3 looks after the elementary
and middle school; Building 4 contains a very well stocked
library, a dance studio, an up to date computer lab,
and classrooms for 3rd-and 4th-graders.
I have been told by a number of people
whose children attend the school that, if there is trouble
out on the streets, they send their security people
(often hired from the neighborhood) out to deal with
it! I like that, and I felt incredibly safe every time
I went to pick up my neighbor’s children. They
have a state-of-the-art security system installed, and
there is a heavy presence of staff out on the playground
at all times. In fact, I saw a young boy sitting alone
one day, and it wasn’t long before one of the
staff was right there beside him asking if everything
was OK. It really warmed my heart to see that sort of
concern. The kid jumped right back up and began playing
shortly after.
