The Town of Oxford did not have a middle school. That cohort of students was housed in an elementary school that was at capacity and had facilities that were inadequate for their age group. The Town’s vision was to create a three-school campus, siting the new middle school between that overtaxed elementary school and another elementary school. Redistricting plans required a firm opening date of September 4, 2020. Teamwork –skillful management, cooperation among all stake holders and trade partners, frequent communication, notable strategic time-saving approaches and a commitment to work through the pandemic – realized that vision.
