What’s Happening in Gardner MA Public Schools Anyway?
For those who don’t have kids in school anymore, you might not know of the strides of excellence occurring in Gardner’s Schools. At a recent School Committee Meeting, see article, the meeting agenda was filled with examples so profoundly wonderful it could even make an old geezer of 100 years old smile. Which reminds us of the beautiful Gardner Elementary School, the first building built as an Elementary School in a century and a real source of pride for the community. Gardner Middle School is a fine facility and the Gardner High School is a work of architectural art.
From a handle on the fundamentals of academics, to the nuances of Art, Music, and Drama, and the excellence of athletics, the School system has its houses in order – 4 houses. The Gardner Elementary School, the Gardner Middle School, and the Gardner High School, all located within a short distance form each other off Pearl Street in Gardner. And, Gardner Academy located at the Elm Street School campus on Elm Street in Gardner. And coming later this year, the Waterford Street School property is becoming a Community Center.
