North Carolina School Opens for New Academic Year
The new Mountain View Elementary School in Morganton, N.C. is set to open for the new school year. While not all parts of the school are complete, students are returning to a new facility wider sidewalks, new athletic fields, and modern classrooms that emphasize natural light.
Along with new learning spaces, Mountain View Elementary also features a new gymnasium, a large cafeteria, and an auditorium with music rooms. These spaces will be open on the weekends for the community to utilize.
Construction on the new school will be wrapping up in the coming weeks as school begins. Areas of the school still under construction are sealed off from the completed academic portions until completion. The new school is proposed to be the first of several construction and upgrade projects for Burke County Public Schools in the coming years.
