Jason Lee Middle School

Today’s new place is Jason Lee Middle School at 602 North Sprague.
I went there to hear a relatively depressing Informational Budget Overview Community meeting.

The Jason Lee mascot is the bobcat. I remember when the school had a grand reopening in 2001 after a $27 million renovation. I also remember an article that suggested some people the students wouldn’t take care of the building. Well, a quick tour today proved that indeed the school looks great, clean and well maintained. The students that I talked to at the meeting were well mannered.

A very nice summary of the building’s history can be found on the school’s website.
