A Day to Remember for St. James Elementary!

Yesterday, our St. James family gathered for a ribbon cutting to celebrate something our staff, students, and families have needed for a long time...room to breathe, room to grow, and the learning environment that every one of our Knights deserves.

A heartfelt thank you to Beam Construction and Holland & Hamrick for their outstanding partnership in bringing this project to life. To our school board, thank you for your continuous support. And to our county commissioners, thank you for your vision and commitment to funding these transformative facility improvements.

St. James is stronger, brighter, and more ready than ever to serve our Knights! We are looking forward to the first day of school tomorrow!
