Humes Middle School in North Memphis will close at the end of this academic year as it returns to the Memphis Shelby-County district s control after a decade in Tennessee s failed turnaround district for low-performing schools.
African-Americans are drastically underrepresented in aviation. But Humes Middle School launched a program this school that aims to get more Black students into the industry.
MSCS officials gave students at MLK College Prep a choice of six schools to attend next year while construction on a new school in Frayser gets underway.
MSCS officials recommended that the board deny applications by five schools in Tennessee’s turnaround district, plus bids from four new schools. The board approved two schools.
