The old school sure had a rustic charm all it's own. It is good to see Walnut Hill area students recievin (receiving) the benefit of our tax dollars.

I think she is great and needs to be promoted but PLEASE NOT BEFORE THE NEW SCHOOL GETS OFF THE GROUND. I am a graduate of E.W. High, was there when it was being built but attending in the old gym in Walnut Hill until it was finished, then was moved in the first year it was opened. It holds a lot of memories because both my children graduated from dear old Ernest Ward High. Nancy has done a wonderful job when it was made a middle school and sure hope they leave her until it's well on its way, although she deserves a promotion.

If a new school is going to be built anyways why not in a central location? I grew up in bratt, ernest ward and northview schools, but i now reside in byrneville and it will be a long ride to the hwy 97 location for middle school kids! Just my thoughts!

My Mom was a Professor of Reading and Child Development at Cal State University Fullerton and my Grandfather was Superintendent of Schools and Public Education in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh Pa.). You could search the entire United States and not find a better educator,leader,harder worker and teacher than Nancy Perry.Our kids were average to below average students before Nancy Perry and her incredible staff got a hold of them.Our youngest just graduated from EWMS with a 3.25 GPA and the oldest is now a straight 'A' 11th grade engineering student with a 3.94 GPA.Both are attending West Florida Tech High School. If I were in charge, I would give Nancy Perry what ever she wanted,such a dedicated educator that she is. Just sad to think other kids don't get the attention and education that Nancy Perry and staff give.If your kids go to EWMS, consider yourselves having won the Education Lottery of a lifetime.

Why does each school have to be designed from scratch ? They are all doing the same thing. The district could also save millions by re-using school plans.

GLA looks new, modern and green from the outside, but in reality it was very poorly planned and poorly exicuted. I think the "green" aspect of the school falls short when the so called "recycled" floors have to be cleaned with harsh solvents, just so they look presentable. I wish the county would not cut corners and would truely invest in our children.
