An anonymous source within the school board has confirmed that the location for the new West Knoxville high school has been selected. Instead of condemning around 40 acres of prime private real estate off Dutchtown Road, the school will now be located downtown in the old Whittle Communications building. “That building just looks like a school. And, you know, it used to house that Channel 1 stuff, so it was built around academia. It just makes sense,” the source told us. When asked about the lack of proximity to West Knoxville, the source said, “Well we thought about that, but in the end, this just made a lot of sense. Don’t you see?”
