The first, known now as school “NN,” is a K-8 school in the Shearwater area.
Some middle school students who currently attend Freedom Crossing Academy, Switzerland Point, Pacetti Bay and Mill Creek will be reassigned to the new school. A total of eight neighborhoods will make up the student body. When it opens next year, it will have just over 1,000 students.
School “OO” is in the Beacon Lakes area. Elementary school students currently attending Ocean Palms and Liberty Pines will be reassigned to the school. The middle school students will come from Alice Landrum and Liberty Pines. There will be nearly 1,200 students who live in six different neighborhoods at the school.
