LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Students in Fort Knox, Kentucky, have a new elementary school.
The community celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new $61 million Van Voorhis Elementary School on Tuesday. Students were able to fill a time capsule with items like the school song, an American flag and photos from the school's past.
The state-of-the-art facility replaces a 66-year-old building and has more than 100,000 square feet. The new school is built on the 21st Century learning model, focusing on experiences and student participation.
Fort Knox is one of only two Army installations in the continental U.S. with a kindergarten through 12th grade Department of Defense Education Activity school.
