Archives Middle Schools: Frederick Law Olmsted South

Official Name: Olmsted Academy South

Year Opened: 2008

The Frederick Law Olmsted Academy opened in 2008 when Iroquois Middle School merged with Southern Leadership Academy. Iroquois Middle became Olmsted South. Olmsted South educates girls and its other campus, Olmsted North, educates boys in single-sex classes. The school was previously named Gottschalk Junior High, then Iroquois Junior High. In 1976 Iroquois Junior High temporarily merged with Iroquois High School and was known as Building B. When a high school addition was complete in 1979, Iroquois Junior High reopened as a separate school but became Iroquois Middle School.
