Said Cazanas of the project in The Town Crier, "I was very much upset when I saw the plans for the [old] High School..The plans, for a series of single story buildings, seemed to contradict all the usual rules of economic construction.
Despite his surprise of the High School's structure, Cazanas was confident of the school's innovation: "There won't be another school anywhere around like this one..There is so much there to interest everyone that it will be a center of activities in Wayland as well as a High School."
