Students took the drivers seat this week while drafting a vision for a new Angling Road Elementary.
Architects and designers in charge of creating the new school spent the day hearing directly from students on what would make a great new learning space. The students shared with the project leaders about what they hoped to see in a new school as well as what they love about their current building.
Cozy learning spots, flexible seating options and a larger library and playground were highlights from the students' feedback. After sharing with the architects and designers about their favorite spaces in their current buildings, students took the adults on a tour of their school where they pointed out the best places to learn, socialize with friends, play and read.
The design of a new school will be influenced by the feedback from students, the architects said. A second opportunity this week was presented to Angling Road staff to give their opinions.
A new Angling Road was made possible after voters approved the 2025 Bond to Finish the Job. Angling Road will be the fifth new elementary school to open -- completing the District's efforts to replace the oldest buildings. In the fall of 2025, a new Central and Haverhill opened. In 2027, a new Woodland will open, followed by Amberly in 2028 and Angling Road in 2029.
