Located in a small town, South Fork Elementary School quickly became a focal point for the community, drawing significant attention from residents. Despite being in a rural setting, the site was part of a busy educational campus—bordered by active neighborhoods, an operational middle school to the left, and athletic fields and a football stadium behind it.
The new elementary school includes 43 full-sized classrooms, a media center and library, a gymnasium, a cafeteria/auditorium with stage, a commercial kitchen, administrative offices, a nurse’s office and multiple small-group rooms. A soft-surface playground promotes student safety, while separate bus and parent drop-off areas improve traffic flow and overall convenience.
