Stapleton 4 is expected to hire a Principal in the next month. “We are very excited to have Stapleton 4 so close to us,” said Eastbridge resident Jen Hodges. “We were promised a school when we first moved here seven years ago, and now to finally be getting Stapleton 4 is extremely exciting for our family and others in the community.” Of course, Jen does understand that her children may not get into Stapleton 4 under the current enrollment situation. “We would be very disappointed to not get into Stapleton 4 since we only live three blocks away. Stapleton 4 is definitely our first choice.” Stapleton 4 is expected to continue the list of strong Stapleton schools. “Who wouldn’t want to say they worked at Stapleton 4,” asks Victoria. “It is going to be a great situation for the entire community, especially those whom will be able to take advantage of everything Stapleton 4 will be able to offer.” DPS School Board member Andrew Chickerneo understands why the Stapleton community is so excited about Stapleton 4. “Stapletonians are a lot like iPhone users. They believe that if they don’t have the latest version, they are missing out on something. Well, Stapleton 4 is essentially the new iPhone, so it is creating quite the buzz.” The first school year for Stapleton 4 will be the 2013-14 school year, and construction on the final facility should be ready for the 2014-15 year. The Stapletonion has agreed to facilitate the potential mascot name for Stapleton 4, so please email recommendations to Stapletonion@gmail.com and we will post them in an upcoming issue. ]]>
