Our Master Plan
Myths vs. Facts
Head-Royce is committed to open and honest dialogue with our neighbors about our South Campus Plan. Even when we all have the best intentions, it’s easy for facts to get lost in translation and for misinformation to spread. Our goal with this document is to clarify the facts and counter some of the rumors you may have heard. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us at communityrelations@headroyce.org. We’d love to hear from you.
