New Roswell Elementary School Gets Official Name

ROSWELL, GA -- At its May 10 work session, the Fulton County School Board approved the names of two new elementary schools opening in August.

The first school – Vickery Mill Elementary – will become the new moniker of the school on Highway 9 in Roswell.

The name reflects the historic mill founded on Vickery Creek, which was the city’s original power source. The site, which has been temporarily housing Esther Jackson this school year while its new facility is built, will officially become Vickery Mill once students and staff move back to the original Martin Road site.

The second facility, Wolf Creek Elementary, will be the official name of the school currently under construction at the intersection of Derrick Road and South Fulton Parkway in southwest Atlanta.

Wolf Creek is a tributary of a river that runs through the area as well as a well known geographic name in the South Fulton community.

Both schools open in August, and will house up to 850 students in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
