2021 Bond: Middle School Transformation

Northwestern will transform into a K–8 visual and performing arts academy. Students will:

• Have more opportunities to explore their passion in the arts.
• Experience increased stability and build strong, long-term relationships with educators.
• Engage in community performances and true community partnership, positively influencing the surrounding neighborhood and the community at large.
• Benefit from important safety renovations and new construction including studios and labs for visual and performing arts, kindergarten classrooms, restrooms, playground additions, auditorium renovations, support spaces and more.

Springfield will continue its transformation into a service learning school. Students will:

• Create strong connections with their community, develop communication and problem-solving skills, build empathy and belonging.
• Experience high-quality education that prepares students for success in college, career and our community.
• Benefit from important building renovations to ensure student learn in state-of-the-art facilities.

We are in the early stages now, with the lion’s share of the work to design the programming and school experience still to come. We will be working to gain community input and student voice through surveys, focus groups, collaboration meetings and other formats over the next few months.
