Work is nearing an end to demolish the old Boones Creek Middle School, a Great Depression-era structure located at 4352 N. Roan St. Taff & Frye, a demolition and environmental remediation company, began work in late March to demolish the brick building, which was originally constructed in 1939 as a high school under the Works Progress Administration. Two additions were made to the building in the late 1950s. Boones Creek High School became a middle school in 1972 with the opening of a new Boones Creek Elementary School and Daniel Boone High School. The Washington County Board of Education has agreed to sell the 12-acre Boones Creek Middle School tract to a buyer for $1.435 million. A contract has been signed and work continues to close the property transaction.
