Project Profile: Medallion-Lok Protects New Elementary School in Growing Missouri District
BOSSIER CITY, La. — The Wentzville School District has been the fastest-growing school district in Missouri for the past decade, averaging more than 600 new students a year. Demographic data indicates that the number of pre-kindergarten children is expected to increase in the district for at least the next 10 years. It’s fair to say New Journey Elementary School was born out of necessity.
“This elementary school is a prototype that started back in 2004 to accommodate the growth in the district,” says Matt McDermott, project manager at Hoener Associates Inc. of St. Louis. “Journey Elementary School is the eighth prototype school to be built for the Wentzville School District. As with the original prototype, this building plan has been fine-tuned each time it is built to accommodate the teaching and learning environment of the district.
