As part of the longest-standing School District in Montana, Elder Grove Middle School preserves a deep-rooted sense of community heritage and school spirit. The design reflects the District’s desire to maintain its “small town” feel, while incorporating contemporary education concepts. The building seamlessly integrates with existing facilities, allowing elementary students on campus to share the new amenities, including multiple STEM labs, music and art spaces, and a new gym with locker rooms. A unique “collaboration corridor” provides ample break-out space for diverse learning activities, while a central Commons serves as the social heart of the school.
