Students at Jill Stone and Nathaniel Hawthorne moved to their respective new buildings during last school year. The construction projects were completed as part of the 2015 Bond. Stone’s new building, which had a budget of $57.2 million, held a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 22nd. And Hawthorne, a $29.9 investment, held its opening ceremony on April 11.

The Exhibit of School Architecture awards are given at the discretion of a 12-member jury, which includes: four school board members, four school administrators, and four members from the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) Southern Region.
