Structure
Stone Middle School has the same design as Franklin Middle School, a middle school located in Chantilly, Virginia. It has two floors; the first floor has a cafeteria, gymnasium and stage, and auditorium in addition to Fine Arts classes and 8th grade classes. The second floor hosts 7th grade classes and the Science wing.
The school has two parking lots: one is located in front of the school and the other is located next to the school, where drop-off and pick-up occurs. Additionally, the school has public, outdoor basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball fields, tracks, and tennis courts for use and an indoor gym facility with basketball courts. Sports organizations in the area frequently use the school to host games and tournaments.
Moreover, the school has six trailer facilities, four hosting the Foreign Language department and the other two occasionally hosting detention.
In April 2008, several rooms had their carpeting replaced with tile, and existing carpeting replaced with new. The carpeting that was replaced had been there since Stone began operation.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“What is the structure of government that will best guard against the precipitate counsels and factious combinations for unjust purposes, without a sacrifice of the fundamental principle of republicanism?”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
