ecently I visited a distinXvguished east coast prep school to attend a lecture. In conversations with the principal, an eminent educator, it turned out he operates a high school (grades nine through 12) and a middle school (grades six through eight) in the same building, not a preferred arrangement, an improvisation of sorts, but a very vital one. This is because the middle school concept, separated schooling for grades six through eight, is an absolutely mandatory one, and is in effect in virtually all schools and school districts, public or private, in America if not worldwide.
It follows that this should be the case in Rappahannock and indeed the same spirit of improvisation could readily be invoked here to the same beneficial result. At present grades six and seven are housed in a “middle school” section at the elementary school. A start has been made.
Merely extending this wing, by moving temporary buildings from the high school where they will no longer be needed, would do the trick. • This sort of improvisation is classic elsewhere.
