This highly anticipated 2022 bond referendum project, which consists of nearly 116,000 square feet of space, will serve students from Pre-K through fifth grade, providing a fresh and innovative location for Johnston County students to enjoy their journey to a brighter future in education. With the capacity for 939 students, the state-of-the-art two-story design has an open, contemporary theme, and features 56 classrooms, a shared cafeteria, auditorium, and gym space.
Welcoming our students, staff, families, and community members into this space for the first time was unforgettable, and we look forward to watching Swift Creek grow into another exceptional JCPS school.
