Most American kids at the time attended elementary school, and the at Bear River “highS school movement” was just beginning to spread across the country, extending free public education to 15-, 16- , 17- and 18-year-olds. But 14-year-olds still went to the same schools as 6-year-olds, usually in the same classroom. There should be dedicated schools to handle the transition from childhood to adolescence, Elliot believed. He called them “junior high schools,”and the first opened in Columbus, Ohio, in 1909, teaching seventh- and eighth-graders (the ninth grade was eventually included in most junior highs). Junior highs evolved simply as high schools with younger students. The faculty was organized into more or less independent academic departments. After World War II, some educators began to think that wasn’t the best way to teach younger teens. Much better, they argued, to combine the teaching environments of elementary school and high school. The middle school concept involves a team of teachers working with the same students at the same grade level, each teaching a different subject. But like their high school counterparts, middle school students have home rooms. The idea was to Photo courtesy Utah Department of Community and Culture. develop a sense of community to bridge the social A 19th century photograph of a band of Utah Shoshoni. and emotional transition during adolescence.
