New school is ready for students in Jonesborough

A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Friday morning for the new Jonesborough Elementary School. The school will serve nearly one thousand students from pre-K to the 8th grade level. The project is an arrangement between local governing bodies. The new school was constructed by the Town of Jonesborough, which will now lease the building to the county to be used by the county school system. The ribbon cutting took place at the new school located on N. Cherokee Street.
