Move-In Day Set For New Ernest Ward Middle (With Photo Tour)
December 1, 2014
Work is continuing on the new Ernest Ward Middle School in Walnut Hill, with a student move-in date now on the calendar.
Students are scheduled to begin classes in the new $20 million facility on Monday, February 2, 2015. Some portions of the building are nearing completion, with furniture being moved into place. Additional furniture deliveries are scheduled throughout December, and dates are scheduled for teachers to have their items moved from the old building into the new facility.
All of the items such as computers and furniture, with the exception of library shelving, will be brand new.
Some contractors are expected to work extended hours and seven-day weeks in order to meet the completion schedule.

I agree, Mathis Library would be very appropriate. I will never forget the days when she taught at Craver Middle School in the late 80’s she was such a caring individual. Such a great lady and teacher. Ronnie P. Brown.
It would be nice if they named the library the Mathis Library.
The library looks impressive, but those hallways and classrooms look like they could’ve been built back in the 1970s. I guess that’s better than the 1940s though.
@Just Saying. I agree and in Heaven she has already taken the tour. If you were not aware, Pam Mathis passed away last year after her long battle with health problems.
It would be nice if the late Mrs. Pam Mathis that was principle at EW Middle could take a personal tour of this new facility which was her dream. Her Heart and Sole was in this School for years until she was forced to retire in 2005 due to health reasons. God rest her as she looks down now on this Beautiful new school. Just Saying.
This is nice. I’m glad to see our tax dollars spent in our area. The staff and students at EW deserve these new facilities. Thanks to all the contractors helping to meet the deadline.
