A new state-of-the-art K-8 school is being constructed in the northeast area of the district, and will be located in the city of Bel Aire. The new school, which is designed to eventually become a middle school as district growth demands, will feature three classroom wings, a media center/library, 800-seat auditorium and music suites, and a gymnasium that will serve as the safe room/storm shelter. The building is designed so that as demand warrants in the future, a second gym and classroom expansion can be constructed on the site.

GLMV Architecture is the architect on the project. Walz Harman Huffman was the lowest responsible bidder on the project. The total contract amount is $15,946,600 - more than $3.5 million under budget.

The school is being constructed on 40 acres by the southeast corner of 53^rd St. North and Woodlawn. Construction is scheduled to be substantially complete by July 2012.
