So — was it a high school or college?Dutchman Schultz (talk) 01:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was not a college. At different times, it offered "junior high" (grades 5-8), high school, and "post-grad" (intended for high school graduates, generally football players, who were not quite academically prepared for college).Joebedford (talk) 19:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As a TMI alumnus, I was inspired to do a complete overhaul of this page, which seemed to be rather neglected (kind of like the old buildings, sigh.) I am a fairly novice Wikipedia editor, though, so all help/suggestions appreciated! Joebedford (talk) 01:34, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How many buildings?

[edit]

I would like to get this firmed up. Every citation online gives a different number. Probably understandable, I can barely remember which are stand-alone buildings, and aren't some sort-of connected? So let's see: main building, dining hall, Johnson dorm, Deaver dorm, high school classrooms, middle school classrooms, library, rec hall, old gym, new gym (defining these based on late-1970s usage). Horse barn? Pool? Don't want to count the guard shack, and think it's gone anyway. That would be twelve, but at least one article says "fourteen". Do I vaguely recall a new (post-1980) building across from the middle school building? What else? Joebedford (talk) 02:45, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
