In September 1971, the Nathan Hale and Eugene Field elementary schools were paired by the Minneapolis Public School District
to provide a demonstration project in quality integrated education. Pairing is the merging of two schools so that each school serves different age
levels for a new or larger attendance area. Student achievement and social and attitudinal changes and other aspects of the pairing were studied
during the project period. The project was part of the district's plan to end de facto racial segregation and improve the quality of education in
the Minneapolis public schools.
