History
In
September of 1966, our present facility opened for seventh,
eighth, and ninth grade students. Following the
educational trends of the 1970's, MacArthur Junior High School
became MacArthur Middle School. In 1977 the ninth graders
moved to Meade Senior High and MacArthur picked up the
off-post sixth graders. Decreased enrollment of
elementary schools caused the return of sixth graders to the
feeder elementary schools with the 1982-83 school
year. In August of 1997,
MacArthur split into two schools; forming MacArthur school and
Meade Middle school. Both schools were located in the
MacArthur facility with separate faculty and staff until the
completion of Meade Middle in 1998. Both schools
completed the 1997-98 school year with seventh and eighth
grades only. In September 1998 the sixth graders from
feeder schools joined the middle schools. MacArthur's
feeder elementary schools include Harman, Manor View,
Maryland City, Meade Heights, Pershing Hill, Seven Oaks, and
West Meade.
