on the campus, or to the high school grade cluster. Craftsbury Middle School serves grades five through eight, although in many cases grades five and six serves as a separate unit from grades seven and eight. The middle school is primarily housed in Minden Hall. Craftsbury High School (often referred to as "Craftsbury Academy") serves grades nine through twelve, and is primarily housed in the upstairs of the old academy building. The high school has deep historic roots in the town, being created in the 1820s. There were eleven graduates in 2007, the typical size of a graduating class. Campus facilities The local school system maintains an elementary school in the village, but the bulk of the buildings making up the campus are clustered on the east side of Craftsbury Common. The Academy building is the oldest structure, having been built in 1868 and expanded since (replacing an older brick academy nearby which had been destroyed by fire). In the 2010 to 2011 school year the Academy building was extensively remodeled to bring it up to modern building codes while maintaining historic qualities. The upstairs of the building now serves the high school, while the downstairs serves as office space, a kitchen, and a multipurpose cafeteria known as the "Common Room" due to its views of scenic Craftsbury Common. The renovations are partly meant to vastly improve energy efficiency on campus. As renovated the Academy will be the state's first operating "High Performance School" for energy efficiency. To the rear of the academy building is the gymnasium, built shortly after the Second World War and dedicated as a war memorial. The gymnasium includes a built-in stage, under which is the music room. The gym is significantly undersized and has serious structural deficiencies. Following the renovation of the Academy Building there are plans to remove the gym and rebuild a new structure of appropriate size. The new gym would be rededicated as a war memorial. On the opposite end of the gym is a chapel which was moved across the town to its present location, known now as "The Annex". The Annex will be fully remodeled as part of the renovations, and will ultimately contain offices, locker rooms, a weight room, a classroom, and the heating system for the campus. Prior to the 2010-2011 renovations each building had its own heat system. As renovated the entire main campus will use a
