Duggan is one of 4 city schools to receive funding through Springfield’s most recent Magnet grant. Responding to the interest expressed by parents and students to develop smaller middle and high schools, Duggan will grow from a 6-8 middle school to become a 6-12 Expeditionary Learning and Social Justice school.  Beginning in the fall of 2014 and continuing for the next 2 years (2015 and 2016), Duggan will add a ninth grade class of 60 students who will be able to gain admission by applying during the Magnet Enrollment period each year.  Beginning in the fall of 2017, admission into Duggan’s 6-12 program will be at the 6th grade level only.
