94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Breckinridge County Schools Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter said seeing the groundbreaking for the new Breckinridge County Middle School earlier this month was an exciting moment.
“You know, we’ve been working for almost six years to get to this day, and it’s been great to see it all come together, so we’re really excited to break ground, and progress is moving, so we’re very hopeful for good weather and to keep moving along and have that building ready to open for students in August of 2028,” Carter said.
The new middle school building will replace the current facility, the former high school building, which is now more than 60 years old. The district discussed renovations previously, but it was found that the cost would exceed 75 percent of new construction.
“Now that we’re there, we think about how wonderful this new building is going to be, and it will set up our students for years and years and years in Breckinridge County to have that new middle school,” Carter said. “It’ll be designed with modern learning spaces. It’s just truly exciting.”
Carter said the new building was made possible by a generous and supportive community.
“Things like this don’t happen in a rural community without the support of incredible people, and I’m very thankful to our state legislators, Senator Steve Meredith and Representative Josh Calloway, our Breckinridge County Board of Education, and everyone who has supported this work, supported this project,” Carter said. “It’s a great day to be a Tiger.”
