With the dawning of a new year, let's take a look back at Warminster's most memorable moments in 2012.
Before 2013 gets fully underway, take a look at some of the stories that got people talking last year. The Centennial School District provided plenty of fodder. As the board worked in the first half of the year to close a $3 million budget gap, proposals to cut programs and alter the elementary bell schedule grabbed the community's attention.
