The Town of Silverhill welcomes a state-of-the-art elementary school, offering students modern facilities and ample space for learning and growth. The new building replaces an outdated campus and boasts over fifty classrooms, a cafetorium, gymnasium, and various other amenities. The old school building will be transformed into a dedicated early learning center, focusing on pre-k education.
The Town of Silverhill now boasts a brand-new elementary school designed to foster student learning and growth for years to come. Baldwin County Public Schools unveiled the impressive facility on Wednesday, welcoming students, teachers, and staff on Monday. While the current enrollment is under 500 students, the building has the capacity to accommodate up to 1,200.
Spanning over 137,000 square feet on County Road 55, the eye-catching structure features over fifty classrooms, a cafetorium, gymnasium, and more. Baldwin County Public Schools Superintendent Eddie Tyler compared the new school to stepping into a brand-new car, particularly highlighting the abundance of space. 'We strive to be smart with the building, making it attractive and providing everything necessary for children to learn, such as our SRO offices and nursing offices,' he explained. 'That's what we're most excited about.'The new school represents a significant upgrade from the previous campus, and Principal Wendy Rodgers expressed her delight with the extra space. 'Firstly, we have room to breathe. We had utilized every square inch at our old campus,' she shared. 'Teachers were conducting intervention sessions in closet areas, and we constantly faced leaks, temperature, and A/C issues. There's simply no comparison. Everyone is thrilled, and we are incredibly happy.' Rodgers further elaborated on the positive impact the new facilities have had on the students. 'Some of these children were coming from classrooms built in 1956,' she said. 'Moving to this new school with modern mic. systems, lighting systems, sound, and technology has left them absolutely captivated. Our second-grade teachers told me yesterday that they've noticed a significant decrease in impulsive behavior because students are completely engaged in the instruction. It's been a remarkable improvement.'Regarding the fate of the old school building, Tyler revealed plans to transform it into an early learning center. He explained that this center will alleviate pressure on Baldwin County schools regarding pre-k classes. 'It will be the only one of its kind that we know of – an early learning center dedicated solely to pre-k,' he stated. 'It's going to be beautiful. We're going to utilize that area, and I think parents will adore it. I believe the town will, too. We've just received a brand-new elementary school, and now you'll have a brand-new early learning center. Silverhill needs to get prepared,' Tyler concluded confidently.
