[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad they are doing away with the all 9th grade in one building craziness with the new highschool. It sounds like there may be two separate highschools. [/quote]

What grades are going into the new Minnie Howard? I assumed it would still just be 9th.

If the central office/School Board is willing to to shift things around - like their discussion about the new GM becoming a middle school or K-8 - that is a really good thing. It would be silly to have 300 kids rattling around a 130k sqft school made for 700 to 800 kids. [/quote]

On the feedback survey for the new superintendent it says that the plan for the new Minnie Howard building is 9-12. Which is great. Now lets pray that it is a stand alone high school and that that kids won't be  walking through the Bradlee shopping center all day.[/quote]

That's great! I hadn't heard that. So it makes a lot of sense to make George Mason into a K-8 or another middle school like ACPS and central office is talking about. Alleviate the pressure at GW & Hammond too. And their 2026 move in date for GM isn't that far away. With numerous building projects in Alexandria and surrounding areas getting shelved, they should be able to find a construction firm that can move quickly. [/quote]
