Ceremony for New Estabrook School Monday

Officials on Monday will hold a dedication ceremony for the new Estabrook School.

Crews broke ground on the $43.4 million project in 2012. The school opened in February of this year.

The dedication ceremony will be held Mon., Oct. 6 at 10:30 a.m. Scheduled speakers include state Treasurer Steven Grossman and Massachusetts School Building Authority Executive Director Jack McCarthy. The authority contributed 37 percent of the funding for the project.

The ceremony is open to the public.

The school is named after Captain Joseph Estabrook, who lived from 1669 to 1733. Estabrook was the first school teacher in Lexington. He was also a town clerk, selectman, representative to the general court, and captain of a local military company.
