New School Project

CHA

The Augusta School Department is underway with a new school construction project designed to better support the needs of our elementary student population. Plans are beginning to take shape, and current discussions indicate the project may involve an expansion off an existing school within the district. This initiative aims to create a more equitable, efficient, and future-ready learning environment for our youngest learners.
