Paideia Looks to Rebuild Mother Goose

Paideia's Mother Goose BuildingWhen the Mother Goose, a high school building at Paideia School, was destroyed by fire last October, the school was heartened by the outpouring of support from the community. Much loved by students past and present, two-thirds of all high school students had at least one class in the building every day. Students from all levels passed it daily on their way to class, the gym, the theater or music and art. Four teachers taught in the red brick converted house, originally built as a home for Asa Candler's only daughter, Lucy, and her family.

"Classrooms at Paideia are teachers' homes away from home, and they are imbued with their passion for the subjects they teach and for the relationships they build," said Paul Bianchi, Paideia headmaster. The school has begun the process of rebuilding and replacing the Goose. Final plans call for a structure reflective of the original building.
