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.

ƵIƵm happy for the people of Milton. This is a beautiful school, a great location. WeƵre excited for everybody and for the kids of the Milton area. 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.
