Sign Of Progress: New Ernest Ward Middle Construction Progressing

December 10, 2014

Construction work on the new Ernest Ward Middle School facility in Walnut Hill is progressing toward a targeted move-in date less than two months away. One sign of progress — the sign identifying the new school — is now in place on the building.

Students are scheduled to begin classes in the new $20 million facility on Monday, February 2, 2015. Some portions of the building are nearing completion, with furniture being moved into place. Additional furniture deliveries are scheduled throughout December, and dates are scheduled for teachers to have their personal classroom  items moved from the old building into the new facility.

All of the items such as computers and furniture, with the exception of library shelving, will be brand new.

Some contractors are expected to work extended hours and seven-day weeks in order to meet the completion schedule.

    As the exodus from Atmore and Flomaton into North Escambia County increases, this expansion/renovation will certainly allow for Ernest Ward Middle to handle the increased student load.

    North Escambia is truly blessed to have these schools.
