The Story of the Wagon

In the beginning… the settlement organizations created an education committee.

1932–1933: The first students studied in a railway car. The car arrived along with the plowing machines - the “Fowlers” - and was placed where the current “Girls’ Square” (Kikar HaBanot) now stands.

1933–1934: The school moved to the “Workers’ Camp,” located in wooden huts.

1935: The shared school was built in the center of the settlement. It had four classrooms and a large hall that served as a community center for all the surrounding settlements. Until 1956, students studied there through 10th grade.

1950's: A school was opened in the ma’abara (transit camp), and gradually, by 1958, its students were absorbed into the joint school.

1959: Following the establishment of the Tel Mond Local Council in 1954, the school was split into two. A fence separated the two institutions: the regional school and the local school.

1976: The two schools were reunited into one unified school for the settlements of the Tel Mond bloc.

1995: The town grew and expanded, leading to a new division.

1996: The regional school moved to a new location and was named Hadar HaSharon.

2002: “Our” school continued to grow and expand. A new school, Nitzanim, was built on the site of the original school.
