Officials here report construction of two new schools is on schedule.
The new Whitwell Elementary School will combine students from Griffith Creek and Crossroads elementaries and is set to open for the new school year in August. The new Jasper Elementary will open five months later when students return from winter break. The schools are identical in design, at just under 100,000 square feet and with two main classroom wings, a media center and cafeteria, he said. It is a dream come true. Teachers at the current school, with 378 pupils in a building intended for 250, regularly visit the construction site.
