Construction Begins On Cartersville Primary School

CARTERSVILLE, GA — Cartersville City Schools broke ground on Jan. 14 on land that was gifted to the school district in 2005, beginning construction of a new Cartersville Primary School.

This new school will be a place of learning where the youngest Canes will begin their educational experience. When designing the new school, the district asked itself these questions:

• What can we create that will transform the learners of today into the builders of tomorrow?
• What will provide the most benefit to our community for generations to come?
• How can we be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us?

Using the learning experiences of students as a guide, the district settled on a plan for the new facility.

On one side, the district will serve the pre-k and kindergarten students. At the center of the campus, it will feature shared common spaces housing the cafeteria, media center, and gym. On the other side, the district will serve first, second and third graders.

The 224,800-square-foot school building will be located on a 33-acre campus on Carter Grove Road in the Carter Grove subdivision. The school is expected to begin welcoming students in August 2023.
