History
The Appoquinimink district began developing the complex circa 2010.[4]
The district selected the duck mascot in 2017.[6] The building had a cost of $148 million. Groundbreaking began in January 2018.[5]
Construction completed in fall 2020 and opened with grade 9 students. As the COVID-19 pandemic in Delaware occurred, the initial students did virtual learning. The athletic teams began in November 2020.[7]
