My Dad went to TMI.  Didn't they become a college prep school for a while?   When did that school shut down?

was it still a high school then or had it become a college prep (for football) by then?

Word is that Sullivans North and South are about to join the list, with the new West Ridge High taking their place.

What about East and Central

Closed as TMI in 1988. Some type of Japanese Education school used it for about 10 years after that. Been empty since 2007. Just sitting there rotting.

I didn't know they ever actually played home games.  York was required to play them by the state throughout the 70's until early 80's  and that was always played in Jamestown.

1987 the year we won the state they locked us in that place and we played a whole game. i was told we were the one and only.It was a dump!Had to change in the gym,thet brought some people out to watch and they got in a fight and had to leave the field.Craziest place ive ever been!Everyone had to get patted down before getting on the field.

That is odd because Taft was never a TSSAA member.  TSSAA allowed teams to play them as a courtesy.
