A woman was assaulted and robbed this morning on the grounds of George Wythe High School. According to police, the assaulter is described as “a black man in his mid 20s, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and wearing a gray shirt and blue denim shorts…close-cropped hair, a goatee and tattoos on both arms.”

An argument turned into a shooting last night, apparently in the Ashton Square apartments. Combined with the police chase that ended with a truck plowing through the gates at George Wythe High School, it’s been an active 24 hours for the general Midlo/WH Blvd vicinity.

Thanks to the I Have A Dream Foundation, 15 George Wythe seniors have earned college credit during high school and will be able to continue their education at university and/or the military. These students are also acting as mentors for younger children at Broad Rock Elementary, where students receive academic support, cultural activities and individual attention through their elementary, middle and high school years, plus tuition assistance for higher learning.

For the second day in a row, police had to break up fights at George Wythe High School. At least 1 student was arrested, and at least 1 teacher was injured as a result of the fighting.

No heat at Elkhardt MS + burst water pipes and “not insignificant” flooding at George Wythe HS = just another day of shoddy RPS maintenance.

Here’s hoping the “New Direction” plan includes updating the infrastructure of some of these buildings. Doubtful, but hey, we can dream.

We’ve received a couple of reports of an afternoon fire in the Auditorium at George Wythe High. No word as to severity, but if anyone has heard anything…
