COLUMBUS, Ohio — Olentangy Schools is heading into the new school year with a new middle school building.
The district held a grand opening ceremony for Olentangy Berlin Middle School, the district's sixth middle school, on Aug. 13 where everyone from the marching band to those who helped make the project happen were in attendance.
The 156,700-square-foot building was the result of a $46 million project. Voters approved the new building in the spring of 2020 after seeing growth in the Olentangy school district and Delaware County.
Principal Nathan Davis said in a written statement ahead of the opening, “I look forward to welcoming our Bruin staff, families, and greater community, and giving them a peak into what students will experience at Berlin Middle School. It will be a commemorative celebration as we bring together staff, students, and families for the first time in our beautiful new home.”
The district also recently opened a new elementary school, Shale Meadows Elementary School, and has plans to open another elementary school in the fall of 2024.
