Two community meetings are planned to discuss Booker T. Washington High School’s transition from three independent theme-based schools on the same campus to one unified school.

The Atlanta Board of Education voted unanimously in September for the change, which will consolidate Washington High's Early College with its schools of Health, Science and Nutrition and Banking, Finance and Investment.

The meetings are scheduled for Tuesday and Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Washington High's auditorium.
