New Valle Crucis School project

Last Updated on November 17, 2024 8:26 pm

Below are videos and photos of the new Valle Crucis School being built, as documented by Kenneth Reece/WataugaOnline. The content dates back to November 29, 2022, when the groundbreaking took place.

This is the first new school to be built in Watauga County since the new Watauga High – which groundbreaking was held in September 2007 and completed in July 2010. Before that, the last new K-8 elementary school to open was Cove Creek in 1995.

Photos and videos are captured nearly every weekend and are planned to continue until the projected completion in late 2024. Also take note that due to the amount of content to be posted, the layout of items may change.

For more information about the project from the beginning see the links at the end of the content.
