Half of the school year is complete, and in its first year the TMP-Marian Jr. High is finding its place on the high school campus. During the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce Chamber Chat on Friday, Principal Bill DeWitt said having the two schools at the same facility is working.

The northeast hallway on each floor is set aside for the Jr. High classrooms, and the students are generally segregated except for mass and special activities. DeWitt says that will likely be the model for some time.
