Jazmine Cabriales was a freshman when the EF-3 tornado tore apart Thomas Jefferson High School in October 2019. Students were relocated to the former Thomas Edison Middle School 10 miles away. Monday, Cabriales and her 311 classmates finally will get to enjoy being back at a high school in their neighborhood — even if it is only for 5 months. Cabriales says it has all served to build character. "One reason we are so proud of is the gym," he said.
Also reopening Monday is the new Pre-K through eighth-grade school. Walnut Hill International Leadership Academy is a new revamped combination of the former Walnut Hill Elementary and Carey Middle School. "It’s dual language," explained Principal Dr. Philip Meaker. "That means Monday is 100% English. Tuesday is 100% Spanish. Alternates every other day, so kids learn both languages and content. The middle school is all honor classes."
"I will lock the doors Sunday night and will know Monday morning I am opening the doors to a community who has deserved this building long before a tornado hit," Jones said. "They have deserved this building for decades." The former Walnut Hill Elementary School is being turned into a career institute where students can graduate with certifications ready for the workforce.
