As demolition proceeded last week on the Hillview Middle School campus, this mural -- part of a long tradition of students' creating outdoor art at the school -- was the last standing when a photographer stopped by.

The massive rebuilding of the campus with mostly new facilities is expected to be completed by Sept. 4, when school opens.

Playing fields will replace the buildings now being demolished.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and this one says it all. So sad to see the all the colorful, creative artwork demolished and replaced by an unwelcoming barred jail.

Are pictures of the murals available online somewhere?
