The additional classes were wood shop, cooking class, mechanics, and mor, but was ended for child safety. Teel was from grades 6-8. It was neighbor was Empire Elementry School, the first EUSD school built.On June 12, 2009 the school was shut down because of low school budgits. Many of the students in grades 6 and 7 were transfered to Norman Glick Middle School or Empire Elementry School K-8, or they were also transfered to Modesto School District.
