Arlington Middle School is one of the three middle schools in the Arlington Central School District.[1] Currently, there are 69 teachers and 23 departments governing it.[1] The school is made up of 6 teams, all of which have 5-6 teachers-one each for mathematics, social studies, English, Science, and special education. The sixth grade has one reading teacher per team.[1] The school is located at 601 Dutchess Turnpike, in Poughkeepsie, New York.[2] The current principal is Mr. Richard Carroll.[3] The associate principal is Mr. Paul Hackett.
Arlington Middle School was originally built as Arlington High School as a WPA Project, and was rechristened Arlington Junior High School when the high school moved to its current location on Route 55 in LaGrange in 1961. The tile work in the boy's locker room showers is one of the few remaining markings of that time, with the letters A H S included in the pattern of the tile work, along with "Arlington High School" inscribed over the building entrance into the gymnasium.
