Public Invited to Take ‘Last Look’ at Lothian Elementary

The public will be given a chance to say goodbye to Lothian Elementary School before it is demolished this summer.

On June 17, students, administration, staff and families past and present of Lothian will gather to say goodbye to the 57-year-old school.

The original school will be demolished over the summer to make way for the construction of a brand new $32.7 million facility, according to a release. The new school will be nearly 16,000 square feet larger and will accommodate more than 550 students.

Construction is scheduled to begin this summer and the new school plans to open in the summer of 2015. In the meantime, Lothian students will spend the next two years sharing space at Southern Middle School.

The June 17th farewell event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. and is open to the public.
