About this Article

They all parked on the north side of the former Driscoll Catholic High School building Monday, which still bears a sign telling the world it's the “Home of the Highlanders” and another message board reading “Live Jesus in our hearts forever.” Then roughly 30 Driscoll alumni, former staff members and Addison officials trekked to the south side of the building at 555 N. Lombard Road to watch it begin to crumble.
