There were a lot of things to like when the doors flung open for the first day of school at the new Knoxville Middle School.

Natalie Beck, a seventh grader in Knoxville listed what she liked the most about the new facility. 

The likes for Beck, “There’s different colors for the grades to know where everyone goes for the sixth graders, seventh and eighth graders. Also how big the hallways are so you aren’t all smooshed in together. Also when you are going up the stairs you aren’t smooshed in together. But it’s a nice place, it’s very nice. I’m glad they made it.”

Other students interviewed for their thoughts on the new school included Peighton Stuart, a sixth grader, and Emmitt Hyatt a seventh grader. Out of the three students we talked to there wasn’t much not to like. All of the children appeared in a Let’s Talk Knoxville segment earlier in the week.
