On May 3, 2003 school district voters approved (by a three to one margin) a $6.8 million dollar bond issue to finance the construction of a new middle school. The 1925 Academy Consolidated High School building, which served as the middle school, had served its students and community well. A school building is much more than bricks and mortar; it is the collection of memories, friendships made, and life lessons learned therein that are much more important.  The new Academy Middle School was opened in 2004. We are very proud of this educational facility and we appreciate the community for making it possible.
