Four Points Preparatory Academy is ready to open its doors.
The new Braselton charter school received its certificate of occupancy on July 14 and will welcome its first students on July 31 when classes start.
“We are full steam ahead,” said Four Points Prep School Board Chairperson Pam Estabrooke, who noted that teachers have already moved in and are decorating their classrooms.
While some exterior site work still needs to be finished, everything else is in place, as the old West Jackson Primary School site will once again function as a school. It’s been 10 years since the structure has held students.
“I could not be happier with how the building looks and the response from the community,” Estabrooke said. “It’s been what we envisioned it to be.”
Four Points Prep held a ribbon cutting Tuesday (July 22) to celebrate the moment, drawing a large crowd to the school’s cafeteria. Four Points Prep anticipates welcoming well over 400 students on the first day of the school year.
“You are the first of many who will make goals, dreams about your future and impact this community and beyond,” Four Points Principal Amanda Brown said to students during her address at the ribbon cutting.
Four Points Prep will continue to take registration through early August.
