This is the second groundbreaking this summer to replace existing CCSD schools.
The other major improvement upgrade that we're going to have this summer is going to be with Von Tobel.
"Super excited about Von Tobel," Superintendent Jhone Ebert said. "That was where I started my CCSD career as a math teacher, so that school again is one of our round schools. We have pie-shaped classrooms. I don't know who's ever thought about a pie-shaped classroom or teaching in it, but we will have new, exciting facilities there, safety, playgrounds, all of those things we know when our children, our families, can engage in those schools, they will be successful."
The schools are expected to open August of 2026.
