A brand new school building about to open is a very busy place – furniture is still being put together, a few teachers are already there setting up their classrooms and the final touches of construction continue.

Former and current members of the Hamilton Southeastern School Board toured the new Southeastern Elementary School Wednesday, near Southeastern Parkway on Cyntheanne Road.  The building is set to open next month when classes begin for the 2019-2020 school year.

School officials had estimated that about 540 students would occupy Southeastern Elementary in its first year of operation.  It is now expected that 682 youngsters will be taking classes in the new building,  The capacity of Southeastern Elementary is 707 students.

  1. Not a shocker. 3 more….3 more years thankful for my daughters opportunity at HSE but getting harder and harder to deal with the cities growth and to choose to stay here.

  2. Thank you for coming. I was so happy to see Dr Tolle and Mr Burke. I think we were talking about his pearls of wisdom shared with me while he was our President. So thankful for their continued support of HSE.

    1. Word on the street is that they are going to have to put portable classrooms at this brand new school in its first year. How does that make sense? That would be a complete waste of taxpayer money. Why not shuffle some kids around to the other schools that are under capacity and recognize that admin “didn’t do their homework” on the estimated student count.
