The Buckeye Elementary School District opened a new elementary school just in time for the first day of school on Aug. 4.
John S. McCain III Elementary was developed with the help of Cindy McCain, the late Arizona Sen. John McCain’s widow, and other McCain family members.
Located near 247th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, the 95,000-square-foot elementary school is ready to open its doors to the Buckeye community.
“It’s amazing to be able to first and foremost design and build something like this in nine months during COVID and under budget,” said Dr. Kristi Wilson, Buckeye Elementary School District superintendent.
“It’s just really amazing to do that, but, more importantly, I think that the design really captures what we set out to do, and that’s to prepare kids for a bright future.”
