50 Years at WJB

2024-2025 marks the 50th year since the opening of Walter J Baird Middle School.

Lebanon Junior High located just a few blocks away from our current location was the school students attended prior to the opening of WJB.

The last class at Lebanon Junior High spent only one day at WJB. It was for their graduation ceremony.
