A tour of the new Joplin High School (Shopko campus)
Coming in September, our book about the Joplin tornado- 5:41- Stories from the Joplin Tornado. Find out more about the book, the stories and photos that are included, and see the photo that was selected for the cover at this link.
What an interesting show. The nature of the world has changed such that gyms and lockers are obsolete? Huh. Everything is geared towards open spaces, computers and striking a balance between individual and community pursuits. Looks like they're doing a great job.
Macbooks for every student. Seriously? You'd think the district would have a better way to spend that kind of money considering how many schools were damaged or destroyed.
Looks legit, actually kind of jealous they didnt have all this when I was still in school. Was going to do the painting and drywall in it but didn't get the bid :P Oh well I'm booked up anyways haha! By the way, much love from your (05') 8th grade writing class students Mr. Turner. When we all look back you were one of our favorite teachers!

I think it's more about economy of space than gyms and lockers being obsolete. They're doing what's necessary to make the most of the temporary space.
This all looks really great! Where are the music rooms, band, choir, orchestra?
It is my understanding that the school district will have its music classes at Memorial Hall.
