Next school year, a few schools will be celebrating their decade birthday. I thought I would honor those schools here. All the XXX1's, it's time to party!!
Happy Birthday, Middleburg ES and Round Hill Support Center! Both opened in 1911, both turning 100! Wow! And Middleburg holds the title of the oldest operating school in the county! Congratulations!
Happy Birthday, Willisville (colored) school! Opened in 1921, you're 90! Unfortunately, I don't know much (if anything) about you. I think you're now a private residence. Oh well. We'll send some cake over.
Happy Birthday, Mountsville School! 80s years ago, it was 1931. You're in the same boat with me as with Willisville, sorry.
Happy Birthday Douglass (1941)! 70 never looked better! You continue to be an inspiration and a historic icon.
Happy Birthday Middle Schools! The middle school system was started 1971, 40 years ago. Two middle schools opened this year, Blue Ridge and Sterling! Douglass has another anniversary. It was used 1971 - 1975 as "Leesburg Middle School," serving Leesburg students temporarily until Simpson MS opened in 1976.
No new schools in 1981 or 1991. Oh well, we didn't have that much cake. More for me!
Happy Birthday to Eagle Ridge MS, John W. Tolbert ES, and Seldens Landing ES! You all have finally reached double digits, turning 10 years old. 2001 was 10 years ago? Yikes.
The XXX1 Club has a new member joining up this fall. J. Michael Lunsford Middle School, the first two story middle school, is opening its doors.
And that's the XXX1 Club! I hope each one has a wonderful decade ahead of them.
