Let it be known that when this school opened in 1959 and for 25 years after it was called "Nallwood junior high school" and served grades 7-9! I ought to know..I went there! Kids from John Diemer, Nall Hills, Indian Creek, and Valley View Elementary schools went there. From Nallwood they went on to SM South High. Nallwood was named for the street "nall" which runs N and S nearby. IN the 1980s Shawnee Mission USD 512 started to lose students (shrink) so they responded by closing alot of schools and turning their Jr Highs into (yuck) "middle schools"
Nall Hills is now closed as is Indian Creek. Valley View was sold to the Catholic Church and is now a parochial school. |
