Sixes Road Private School Advertised for Foreclosure

Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co. is foreclosing on , according to a foreclosure listing in today's .

The advertisement, which is on the top of Page 19E, indicates that the Sixes Road private school is $12 million in debt.

"This is the best way to write off the $12 million debt," Parvis Nikkhoo, the school's development director, told Canton-Sixes Patch early this evening.

Richard and Lori Haigwood live in BridgeMill and have three daughters at the school, which serves motivated students with average to gifted aptitude in prekindergarten through 12th grade.

Stephanie and Rachel Haigwood are in sixth grade and Nicole Haigwood is in eighth grade.

The Haigwoods spoke with school administrators for several hours this morning after receiving a "very legal" document via email Thursday night.

They were told that American Heritage will remain in the Sixes Road facility until the end of the year.

American Heritage will also have a building for the students next year although it's unclear exactly where that will be, Richard Haigwood said.

A Food Lion under construction on Bells Ferry is an option for the school because it can house the now 350 or so students the school has enrolled.

Nikkhoo confirmed that Food Lion is under consideration.

The school had tried for 600 students, but Richard Haigwood said the school is just a victim of bad timing and a bad economy.

He said he wants to give the school until April 1 to find its new building before he decides what to do with his three daughters' schooling.

He is trying to "stay positive."

"Having a good private school in the area is just as important as having a good school because it attracts business," he said.

Canton-ga.patch.com will upload a video interview with Nikkhoo later tonight.
