New Elementary School Coming to Effingham County
We’re especially excited about our newest school elementary, scheduled to open in Fall 2026. Located on Blue Jay Road, it will help relieve capacity at our current elementary schools. Families can expect transparent conversations about redistricting, with opportunities to provide feedback and participate in the planning process.
Naming Our New School
We were thrilled to receive so many thoughtful name suggestions from our community! After careful consideration, Creekside Elementary was chosen as our newest elementary school’s name. Thank you for participating in this important step. Creekside Elementary will be a place where students can thrive, learn, and grow, and we’re excited to create a welcoming, engaging environment for everyone.
Please continue to check back for updates on construction, staffing, and other important information as we prepare to open the doors of Creekside Elementary.
