Chapel Hill Elementary School Breaks Ground

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

The tenth elementary school in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district broke ground on Monday.  The school, which is scheduled to open for the new school year in 2008, is off Eubanks Road.  Easily accessible to neighborhoods in Carrboro and north Chapel Hill.

The building plan is ambitious, but our excellent school district needs an additional elementary school.  So,get those bulldozers going!

As a Chapel Hill realtor, I know how important schools are to our community.  If you have a question about Chapel Hill real estate or our school district, contact Reg Morgan.
