History
Prior Land Use
The three-story Marlboro Middle School building opened September 1976 to house all of the district’s seventh and eighth graders. It is located on a 47-acre (190,000 m2) campus on County Route 520. The campus was at first, a Black Angus farm. The land was donated by H&L farms to the Township.
Contamination
During construction of soccer fields, the soccer field improvement program, tests conducted at the soccer complex showed elevated levels of unspecified contaminants. The Mayor closed the fields as soon as the test results came in. The township then applied for and received a grant to help with the anticipated remediation work. Marlboro received money from the Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund to conduct the soil remediation at the soccer complex. When it was cleaned up, the fields were sodded over and are currently being used.[2]
Physical Plant
The complex is a 146,000-square-foot (13,600 m2) brick building on three floors with three independent wings (The A Wing, B Wing, and D Wing). When the school was originally built, there were only two wings. The D Wing was added as an extension in 1998.
School Mascot
The Marlboro Hawk
The school's mascot, the Marlboro Hawk, was selected before the completion of MMS in 1976 by a student survey of the seventh and eighth grade students at Central School. When Marlboro Middle School opened in 1976, the Hawk mascot came with them.[3]
