History: Opening for students was on August the 13th of 2000. McNair Middle School received its namesake from Mrs. Feriba McNair. A 1938 graduate of Fayetteville High School, Feriba McNair received her degree in education from the University of Arkansas in 1942. She established the first girls' physical education program at Fayetteville High School. She also taught science and was cheerleader and pep squad sponsor from 1943-46 and 1953-56. She was appointed to complete a retiring school board member's term in 1967, becoming the first woman to ever serve on the board. She served six subsequent terms, her last three as president of the school board. Continuing to be active in volunteer civic and charitable work sixty years after her graduation from FHS, McNair was elected to the Fayetteville School Hall of Honor in 1999.
