New Doraville United Elementary School Will Host Ribbon Cutting

DEKALB COUNTY, GA — DeKalb County School District will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony Feb. 17 for the new Doraville United Elementary School announced the district Friday.

Community members and stakeholders are invited to join district officials and the DeKalb County Board of Education at 10 a.m. at the school, 3630 Shallowford Road NE Doraville.

Doraville United Elementary’s 118,911-square-foot building was built to relieve the overcrowded Carey Reynolds, Hightower, and Dresden Elementary schools, said the district in a news release.

The school building features a full health clinic, which will serve students and the community. The school partnered with Emory Health Care System to operate the clinic. Doraville United Elementary will also contain the newest educational technology and other resources.

Doraville United Elementary, formerly known as Doraville Elementary, was founded in 1866. Doraville Elementary closed in 1964. To symbolize the connection to the past, school officials will install the original Doraville Elementary school bell on the new campus during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, stated the release.
