A Wichita middle school already known for hands-on learning with gardens, bees, ducks and chickens is getting a name change next year.
Coleman Middle School, has been approved to become Coleman Environmental Magnet Middle School. The Wichita Board of Education approved the change during their Monday meeting.
District officials said the move will give parents and students more choices at the middle school level. The school is already known for its hands-on approach with ducks, chickens, gardens and bees.
The next school year will be a planning year for the staff, with the changes implemented in the 2023-24 school year.
Students who live within the Coleman boundaries will still be able to attend the school. But others who are interested in an environment curriculum will also be able to apply for admission.
