RELATED: Superintendent: Northeastern construction estimates within available funding
The following changes will take place in the fall:
- South Vienna Middle School seventh and eighth graders will attend the Northeastern 7-12 building, and their classrooms will move to the current math wing
- Preschool classrooms currently at Northeastern High School will move to South Vienna and Rolling Hills Elementary Schools
- A special education unit at South Vienna Middle School will move to Northridge Middle School
- A cross-categorical transition unit at Northeastern High School will move to Kenton Ridge High School
“This adjustment would allow elementary classrooms at South Vienna to move to accommodate upcoming construction on the South Vienna School site,” Kronour said.

Grade levels at Rolling Hills, Northridge and Kenton Ridge will not be changed, Kronour said.
In addition to accommodating for the construction, the seventh and eighth grade transition to the high school will begin the process of aligning the district for the new facilities.
“One of our priorities in this process has been making sure that we preserve the middle school experience for 7th and 8th grade, as well as the high school experience for 9-12th grades,” said Northeastern High School Principal Todd Justice, who was formerly the principal of South Vienna Middle School. “We’ve worked hard to create a plan that takes into consideration a variety of factors, including lunches, restroom and hallway use, PE locker rooms, and more to make sure that all of our Jets have a positive experience at school.”
