A local parent expresses support of Western and Upland Christian Schools merging

Karen Winter, superintendent of Western Christian Schools, hopes to get the booster committees at Western and Upland Christian Schools together in the near future.

"We have made tremendous progress at our campus in Covina and we're planning on continuing with that," Snider said. "We want to leave a legacy for future students to come and participate and we would be through the transition with Upland Christian."

As an Upland resident, Snider said she thinks the city will benefit from all the new Western Christian families entering the area.

"The way the finances are for the city this is going to be a great way of making more money for the city as well," Snider said. "It's going to have more families come from different areas and cities and they're going to be consuming here in Upland. I think it's a positive thing for the city."
