They must be feeling particularly unloved at Elmhurst High School these days. Back in 2006, Fort Wayne Community Schools unveiled an array of proposals to renovate all of its schools, from a relatively modest $200 million plan to a staggering $1 billion one. And every single one included as a component closing Elmhurst. Now, the school system is forced to reduce spending, and Elmhurst is put on the closing list again:
Elmhurst High School and Pleasant Center Elementary School would be closed this fall under a series of cuts designed to trim $15 million from the Fort Wayne Community Schools' $217.15 million annual budget.

Closing Elmhurst would save about $1.5 million per year, and closing Pleasant Center another $400,000
