Newton Middle School

Thanks to the generous support of LPS voters, a new middle school has been constructed on the Newton campus. The new school will replace the failing structure of the old Newton Middle School and will solve ADA issues, as well as provide the appropriate space for small- and large-group instruction, creativity, and innovation. It will provide space for the LPS NOVA program, which serves students grades kindergarten through 12 with emotional disabilities, and it will include space for professional development for LPS teachers. The new Newton Middle School opened this fall for the 2021–2022 school year.

A new Junior Stadium will also be built on the Newton campus. It will provide additional playable surfaces for students in both district-sponsored junior varsity and varsity sports as well as club sports in the community. The Junior Stadium will be located where the old Newton Middle School currently sits. The old NMS is currently undergoing abatement prior to demolition.

New playing fields and parking will serve the school, the neighborhood, and the Junior Stadium. The new configuration will provide safer student drop-off and pick-up locations for parents and buses, although bus drop-off is going to be impacted for at least the start of the 2021–2022 school year by the demolition of the old Newton Middle School building.
