History:
In September of 1966, our present facility opened for seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students. Following the educational trends of the 1970's, MacArthur Junior High School became MacArthur Middle School. In 1977 the ninth graders moved to Meade Senior High and MacArthur picked up the off-post sixth graders. Decreased enrollment of elementary schools caused the return of sixth graders to the feeder elementary schools with the 1982-83 school year. In August of 1997, MacArthur split into two schools, MacArthur and Meade Middle. Both schools were located in the MacArthur facility with separate faculty and staff until the completion of Meade Middle in 1998. Both schools completed the 1997-98 school year with seventh and eighth grades only. In September 1998 the sixth graders from feeder schools joined the middle schools. MacArthur's feeder elementary schools include Harman, Manor View, Maryland City, Meade Heights, Pershing Hill, Seven Oaks, and West Meade.
