While school had been in session for nearly a month, it was still a ribbon-cutting and "grand opening" at the new Maumelle Charter High School at 9701 White Oak Crossing on Monday.
Among those in attendance was Gov. Asa Hutchinson, below, who served as the keynote speaker, as well as a sizable contingent of local elected officials, civic leaders and interested members of the community..
The roughly $35 million building is 114,900 square feet and the campus is 38.2 acres and includes athletics fields, plus an auditorium and gymnasium.
Katie Johnson will continue as principal and Rob McGill serves as Academics Plus CEO.
The new facility will also allow for student enrollment growth with the current cap of 1,600 growing to 2,000 by the 2026-27 school year.
It also means changes at the other campuses in the Academics Plus system with the current elementary building at 900 Edgewood Drive will now serve grades Kindergarten through 3rd and the current high school building will become Maumelle Charter Middle School serving grades 4th – 7th.
The Academics Plus system also has a campus in Scott.
