FORT MYERS, Fla. (WINK) \u2014 The School District of Lee County will celebrate the grand opening of the newly rebuilt Cypress Lake Middle School on Friday.<\/p>\n
School Principal Matt Miller, Superintendent Dr. Denise Carlin and the School Board of Lee County will officially cut the ribbon to open the school.<\/p>\n
The rebuilding fulfills a promise made to the community during the voter-approved 2018 half-cent sales tax campaign.<\/p>\n
As one of the district’s three designated arts centers for sixth, seventh and eighth graders, the rebuilt campus features upgrades tailored to specialized arts instruction.<\/p>\n
The new facility doubles the size of both the dance studio and the music room, giving student performers world-class spaces to refine their crafts. Construction at Cypress Lake Middle School will continue through February of 2027.<\/p>\n
The old cafeteria needs to be taken down, the portables students have been using for class need to be removed and a new bus ramp needs to be installed.<\/p>\n
The ribbon cutting will be streamed live at 10 a.m. here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
