What Makes Our School Unique? 

William Henry Oliver Middle School opened its doors in August 2004 and was named for William Henry Oliver, a teacher, assistant principal, principal, and superintendent in the Nashville City School System. The school opened with only 12 classrooms completed and the remainder of the building a hard hat construction area. The 5^th grade students were housed in classrooms in nearby Shayne Elementary School. A science lab served as a make shift cafeteria serving area and a small collection of reference books on a rolling cart served as the library. In September 2004 the fifth grade classes were able to move into the building as the second floor classrooms were completed. On October 28, 2004 the new building was dedicated and the library wing was opened to students. The building was finally completed in January 2005 with the opening of the gymnasium. The new facility is a multi-wing, flat roofed brick structure which houses fifth and sixth grade students in 13 classrooms on the first floor. Seventh and eighth grade students are housed in 14 classrooms on the second floor. Special classrooms house related arts programs such as art, band, and computer. The gymnasium area has facilities for athletic teams and physical education classes. The property contains a designated athletic field for football and soccer.
