The old Raleigh Hills Elementary School building dated back to 1927. It was the second oldest school in the district. The steam pipes were failing, the roof was in poor condition and the sanitary waste system was not adequate for the size of the school. In addition, much of the building did not meet current seismic standards and was at risk of partial or full collapse in the event of an earthquake. The new building addresses all of those issues.
The rebuild is funded through the 2014 and 2022 Bond. The new school will be home to pre-K through 5th grade classes. It will offer a more spacious, functional and modern educational environment. Demolition started in summer 2024, and the rebuilt school will open in fall 2026. During the rebuild, Raleigh Hills Elementary students are sharing a building with students at Greenway Elementary School.
As part of the rebuild project, school administrators sought input from students, parents/guardians and staff about what Raleigh Hills represents to the community now and in the future. The reimagining will include a new mission statement and possibly a new mascot and new school colors, depending on community feedback.
Periodically, we'll be posting below to get your feedback on design decisions. Please follow this project (top of page, right side), so you're alerted to those opportunities.
