Once completed, students from Thunderbolt Elementary will also attend the multi-million dollar facility.
“I am looking forward to our students having an opportunity to receive an education in this state of art, because in conducive environments, students learn best. We are just excited about having the opportunity to get a new school to service students in this area,” said Pamela West, Principal, Juliette Low Elementary School.
