I live in this area and have loved the presence of the school and church here. My girls learned to ride their bikes in the small parking lot and to use monkey bars at the playground. We met friends and neighbors at the playgrounds. My daughter practiced on the organ in the sanctuary this summer […]

As a resident, especially when the kids were young, I appreciate that St. Stephen has shared the playground and pathways with neighbors. It would be great if the space could continue to offer education of some kind and even more of an urban park, with space for all ages to enjoy.

From living in the St. Stephen neighborhood for almost 20 years, its character is quiet, tightly-knit, outdoorsy, and family/child-friendly. Whatever the future is for the school property, this future needs to retain these dimensions of the site.

I think this space would be great to use as an auxiliary building for the high school or as a public park. Demolishing a historical building is the least preferred option, maintaining it as a public space for our land locked city is the most preferred option. Solving our problem with space at the high

Need to make sure it’s properly maintained and kept up. The inside was recently redone and the outside looks abandoned.
While it is sad for the community to have lost an option for private education, we have incredible public and private schools for EGR residents. What could serve this neighborhood well is community space, be it a garden, park or playground. There are no other options nearby for outdoor play other than the playgrounds for
