Volusia County Schools celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Chisholm Elementary.

The state-of-the-art replacement school will be completed in two phases. Phase I will be complete in August 2019. Phase I construction will consist tearing down the original school building, a 2-story classroom facility and a single story building to include administration offices, a larger cafeteria, multi-purpose areas and a media center.

Phase II will be complete in August 2020. Phase II construction will consist of a single story classroom building and covered recreation area.

The new school will have a capacity of about 750 students.

When completed Chisholm will have approximately 93,420 square feet.

H. J. High is proud to be part this project which brings a legacy of over 60 years into a new, more modern facility.
