The building has significant sentimental value for many who received public education there; however, it should re-purposed for other public uses, e.g., the EMS Service and other uses, but its continued deterioration serves no purpose to preserve sentimental value. The gymnasium is at ground level and could be used as garage for EMS equipment if properly modified. Recognizing that control of the facility was not part of its mission, Northampton County High School Alumni Association Foundation, working with Heritage Resources, took steps to erect a monumental plaque at the site as a reminder of its place in history, an era forgotten by many.
