A new school is, at minimum, two years away. Not near as many athletes as you think. The Wilson Central zone has most of the "hot spots" for athlete-type housing opportunities. The Mount Juliet zone is a hotbed for DCA, FC, and Goodpasture type athletes. Say what you want, but it is the truth. As long as the county remains so tight with its tax dollars and the school system keeps getting the low end of the stick, those students that can afford private schools will keep leaving . Believe me, as a Mount Juliet resident I enjoy my lower taxes. However, it is obvious that they are killing their own school system. Of course, my son goes to Goodpasture...................................but for a very different reason. At least now Mt. Juliet has a principal that knows what he is doing.

Agreed, MJ loses just enough decent athletes to the privates for it to hurt programs like football that rely on big numbers of students to participate. And WC is definitely where all the growth is - at least in the western part of the county right now.

 

As a side note, I've heard talk about a "LaGuardo" high school coming down the pike. I'm sure it is 5-10 years away, but have you heard anything about this?

There is a lot on the plate for the Wilson County school system both now and in the near future. We will start scratching dirt for the new Mt. Juliet High School in January, (opeming fall, 2008), along with the expansion of Wilson Central. Watertown is getting a new K-8 building starting in February. Also, we will be replacing Lebanon High school in the next 2-3 years as the sites have been narrowed to 3 parcels of land. The North Central high school you are talking about is 6-7 years away in our current 10 year plan but could be moved up depending on the growth rates. North Central will be located in the Laguardo area as you stated. Relative to the zoning. concurrent with the new Mt. Juliet high school opening, the zoning will all be reorganized with the Benders Ferry and Hwy 70 corridor east to 109 likely going to Mt. Juliet.

 

Relative to losing kids to the privates, many people are unaware that the median household income in Mt. Juliet is $78,000 per year. That puts Mt. Juliet ranked 17th in the state behind such places as Belle Meade, Signal Mountain, Franklin, etc.. However, Wilson County, (because of Mt. Juliet's ranking) is ranked second only to Williamson in the entire state for household income. (Watertown is 115th and Lebanon is 127th in the ranking). That being said, perhaps the privates are where the folks want to send their kids, right or wrong, life is full of choices.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
