Members of the MPISD School Board toured the newly renovated P.E. Wallace Middle School campus after their Agenda Review meeting on Monday night, August 20th.  Wallace Principal, Nathan Rider, and Assistant Principals, Shonda Rutledge and Tommy Ray, conducted the tour, pointing out areas of special interest along the way.  Board members, along with Superintendent Judd Marshall, were shown newly created classrooms, updated science labs, a transformed P.E. space complete with rock climbing wall and archery equipment, widened hallways and additional rooms to accommodate fine arts classes like band and choir.  Rider stated, “Our students and staff are over the moon about the new look of P.E. Wallace.  The changes in the layout have cut down on hallway congestion and improved our children’s safety and security.  The feeling on campus is that we have a brand-new school to call home.”
