A first-floor classroom appears ready for students at the new Milton Elementary School on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024, in Milton.

Just over a week before the grand opening and ribbon-cutting for the new Milton Elementary School on Newmans Branch Road, crews with Hayslett Construction Co., were still working away, ensuring everything would be ready for students returning from holiday break.

I think itƵs going to be a very positive thing for the entire community,Ƶ Chip McMillian, director of construction and renovation for Cabell County Schools, told The Herald-Dispatch.
