Work Continues On New Ernest Ward Middle School
August 6, 2014
Work is continuing on the new replacement Ernest Ward Middle School in Walnut Hill. The $20 million project, funded by local option sales tax funds, has a target completion date in December. That would allow students to move into the school following Christmas break. NorthEscambia.com photos, click to enlarge.

Kevin,
Wanting or not wanting a change of mascot has nothing to do with the community unity, or lack thereof. Nor does the number of people who have been graduated from each institution. It’s not a numbers thing and doesn’t depend on EVERYBODY going along.
David for memories
shared and new
And this is why the whole community will never come together until the graduates of Northview out number the old Black cats and Eagles. GO CHIEFS!
The Eagles name should remain. You can have the Chiefs at Northview but E.W. Has been around much,much longer than Northview was even thought about and have always had the Eagles from Day 1.
Leave the Eagles alone, blue and gold is fine.
ProudArmyParent — you are spot on!! Resident– I understand your thinking but Spirit must come from the school and the Ernest Ward students need their own identity in middle school, looking forward to becoming a “Northview Chief” in high school. Middle school is one of the hardest transition years in life and these kids need to be able to make memories for 3 years and then make news ones for 4 more at Northview High School. However, on the other hand I will say A Chief always has an Eagle at his side:))))

We already have “The Chiefs”. Ernest Ward is still Ernest Ward, new building old traditions. Let’s let the middle schoolers keep their own identy, they will be Chiefs soon enough.
What a great time to change the school colors to Garnet and Gold and the mascot to “The Chiefs”. It would do so much to build School and Community spirit around our High School, the Northview Chiefs!
Why not?
Awesome to see this taking shape.
It is a wonderful addition to the community and the students and teachers must be very excited about moving into a brand new facility.
Citizens, we need to continue to support the Local Option Sales Tax for projects such as this and fire trucks, emergency vehicles and other great improvements.
Please don’t cut the Frontier cable again! he he
