Hamilton County Elementary School
The district consolidated three elementary schools into the new Hamilton County Elementary School, located at the high school site. Four of the five school board members agreed to the consolidation during an April 14, 2014 vote. The district originally planned to build it at the JRE Lee Complex, but on June 9, 2014 the district decided to change the location of the school.[8] The Florida Legislature approved the school's funding,[9] and groundbreaking was held on July 11, 2016.[10][11] Culpeper/Gray is the architect. The opening was scheduled for August 2017.[12]
