A short history
Forest Edge opened on September 7, 1971, with Ronald N. Carpenter as first principal. Charles M. Goodman Associates designed it and Burrows and Preston built it for $1.2 million. It was an “open school,” with six pods named for lunar craters seen on NASA’s Apollo 15 mission. Original capacity was 990 students, and enrollment passed 1,100 by January 1974. In 1982 the pods were divided into 18 enclosed classrooms, and the remaining open classrooms were enclosed in a $8.2 million renovation from 2003 to 2006. The history page says the eagle replaced the ferret as mascot in 1988. Source: the school’s history page.
