A large crowd turned out on Tuesday night for the dedication, ribbon-cutting and open house of the new Coffee County Middle School. Coffee County Director of Schools Dr. LaDonna McFall welcomed the crowd as the $21 million dollar school opened its doors to the community. Coffee County School Board vice-Chairman Reggie Johnson had the honor of cutting the ribbon to ceremonially open the new school. Coffee County Middle School principal Kim Aaron spoke to the crowd expressing her gratitude to the community for investing in the new beautiful facility. The middle school will open with approximately 900 students for this school year with an immediate expansion capacity of 1,200. Long term, the design of the facility, and its common facilities, would allow for future expansion which could increase the overall capacity to 1,500. Thunder Radio’s Samantha Terrell-Watters attended the dedication and will have a Thunder TV video presentation on the new school next week. Make sure you visit our website, WMSRradio.com
