Carpenter Middle School (Plano, Texas) was established 1978.  It was named for Captain R.W.  Carpenter, a prominent settler in the Plano area.  Due to a reduction in enrollment, Plano ISD  made the tough decision to close the school at the end of the 2024-2025 school year.  The  students were then re-zoned into three nearby middle schools. 

 Kathy Ngo, the final orchestra director at Carpenter, reached out to me about writing a farewell  piece for the school’s orchestra program.  I was honored to help make this a special experience  for them.
