At Cornelius Elementary, the back of the campus is being prepared for construction of the new building. At the north side, the site is being excavated for the parking lots and the building foundation.

Harvey Clarke Elementary School students selected a new design for its new play structure, in colors incorporating lavender, blue-green and plum. Expected installation is summer 2024. Read more here: https://www.fgsdk12.org/apps/news/article/1916488

On Wed., April 3, 2024, the community helped to officially break ground for the updated campus and new building. Speakers included: FGSD Superintendent Dave Parker; Cornelius City Manager Peter Brandom; long-time resident and former Cornelius Elementary student Norby Chartry; Principal Angella Graves; and students Lexii Torres and Robin Munoz. They touched on the history of the school, back when Mr. Chartry attended and to the 80 years of the current building. The ongoing partnership with the City of Cornelius as well as the support of voters, taxpayers and other community members were cited as critical to this project as well as the modernized education of students for decades to come.

Safety fencing is going up at the back of the campus to prepare for excavation and grading of the area for the new building. The fencing is intended to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the construction zone - for your safety, please stay out of this area.

FGSD's design consultant, Mahlum Architects, presented the final renderings to staff and parent advisors for the new building that will replace the existing school. View more information about this bond project.
