New Ernest Ward Middle School Now Open
February 3, 2015
Students moved into the new Ernest Ward Middle School Monday morning for the first day of classes in the new building.
For a photo gallery, click here.
The $20 million facility is not quite complete; there’s still minor work to be done throughout the building, and the school’s agricultural classroom and band room won’t be completed for several more weeks.
Students reported to their homerooms in the old EWMS building this morning before being escorted grade by grade into the new facility where they were given the grand tour. There will be changes to student drop-off and pick-up areas (click for a map, details).
The old Ernest Ward buildings will be demolished in the coming weeks The oldest buildings, including the main classroom wing, were constructed in 1945 to replace a campus ravaged by fire in 1943. That old school had been constructed to replace an Ernest Ward School that first opened in a log cabin in 1896.
OPEN HOUSE: An open house and tours for the public will be held on Monday, February 16 from noon until 4 p.m.
