[8] In February 2015 the Philadelphia City Planning Commission approved the demolition of the school.

[10] It was located at a convenient location near Broad and Girard Ave that had local eateries, three major fast food chains, a gas station, a CVS Pharmacy, public transportation to the Girard subway station and two major bus routes.

This school sat on a beautiful campus that held five buildings that were all connected by bridges.

One building was divided in half and provided two full sized lunchrooms on the second floor.

There was also a diving pool with a depth of twelve feet for students that were comfortable with swimming.

A ping pong and tennis room and state of the art gym equipment was available to the students.

Masterminds was once an SLC for students that wanted to go into a career in Law and African American studies.

On the right of the auditorium were separate banquet rooms for award ceremonies and festivals for the students.

The 1970 plaque on the front of the building housed a time capsule with the hope one day students can view the contents inside.
