Top 3 stories to watch in NW Philly this week

Here’s a look at what’s to come:

1. In less than two weeks, Germantown High School will close for good. We’ll bring you more remembrances next week as part of our month-long series before the final day of classes at the 99-year-old school. Among them, will be an interview with state Rep. Dwight Evans, a GHS alum who helped craft charter school legislation.

2. High school graduation season is upon us. Starting next week, we’ll be at a number of ceremonies in Northwest Philadelphia to capture jubilant students and proud parents and teachers. Imhotep Institute Charter High School in East Germantown is first.

3. Weavers Way Co-op started in the early 1970s with a single storefront in Mt. Airy. The organization has grown quite a bit since then. The co-op is celebrated 40 years in business earlier this year. We’ll take a look at how and what’s changed over the last four decades.
