Royal Oak Middle School, abbrieviated "ROMS", is a middle school in Royal Oak, Michigan consisting of over 1200 students from various parts of the city. Royal Oak Middle School is in placement of Dondero High School, which was recently decommissioned due to a lack of enrollment.

Daily Curriculum

Classes are split into "teams", in which the student's classes are located. There are four teams, representing the school's abbreviation, "ROMS", in each grade, and the "White Team", the school's Special Education division. Each team consists of four classrooms, English Language Arts, Science, Math and Social Studies, with the exception of the White Team, which has four independent teachers. [Guess who's a student :)]

After the first year of operation, the 'O' team was decommissioned, leaving only the R, M and S teams.

History of ROMS

Royal Oak Middle School was once Dondero High School, with an enrollment of half the middle school enrollment despite the extra grade. But, due to the declining enrollment, the project, casually named "Old Skool", assigned Kimball High School to become the new "ROHS", and Dondero was later assigned to become a middle school.

The school gymnasium was set on fire during a suspected Arson on October 31, 2006. The gymnasium was not ready for use until late October, in which students had to use outdoor facilities for Physical Education. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dondero_High_School]
