Class of 2017. Not only are those trees healthy, ( I'm pretty sure they are 6 inches in diameter) but it shouldn't matter, they shouldn't be touched. This courtyard is everything, a peaceful place to study, get together, eat lunch, read, etc. Like so many others, great memories were had there. I'm truly devastated with this decision that the community had no say in. I also don't understand the logic of spending money on something that needs no solution; There is no flooding problem, there is no damaged or diseased trees, so why take everything natural in this space and fill it with something artificial? The trees provide oxygen, the presence of phytoncides can increase serotonin, causing a feeling of happiness, so when sitting under a tree with your friends at lunch or by yourself, your mood can be shifted a little more. I wish I could say how I really feel, but what I can say is this was an asinine decision made by absolute FOOLS!

This is a staple of TWHS. Don’t make our campus fake like the rest of the world.

The courtyard is a favorite among students. Replacing the grass with turf in our Texas heat would raise the temperature in the courtyard several degrees especially since it is an in closed area with no breeze possibly making the courtyard unusable to students. Also the courtyard as it currently sits in a beautiful representation of the woodlands with the grass and (memorial) trees.

I refuse to see all the kids who NEED this courtyard lose it. I went to TWHS and I remember how this courtyard literally saved me a handful of times from having a horrible day as well as all the good memories out there.

I am a TWHS alumni & majority of my lunches were in the court yard. Especially the kids who feel social anxiety of sitting in a loud cafeteria not sure where or who to sit with. The court yard was the safe space. So many fond memories took place there. Please for the future generations don’t take it away.

It would be an incredible disservice to current students to remove trees that provide much needed shade in this big courtyard. Reflecting on my time at TWHS, I was a busy high school student and some of the *only* moments I was able to connect with nature and get some much needed sunlight was because of how lush that courtyard was. Ripping out its trees and replacing real grass with plastic will entirely devoid the courtyard of life and any connection with nature. I believe this courtyard significantly improved my mental health during my time at TWHS because it truly felt like a space you could gather.

The courtyard was almost the best place there I loves having lunch out there with friends. Or when our choir teacher took us out there to practice

Class of ‘04. I ate most lunches in the courtyard and could not image the building remaining without it with its natural trees and landscape intact. Please include the students and faculty in the decision making.
