Pinecrest Academy to Break Ground for New Building

Pinecrest Academy, a PreK3-12 private Catholic School in Forsyth County, is hosting a Lower School Building Ground Blessing, Groundbreaking and 25th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, September 7, 2018. Upcoming construction of a brand new permanent building is being made possible due to the success of the school’s Capital Campaign, “Be a Part of the Story.”

One of the original buildings on the 68-acre campus, “Building A,” was demolished last week, vastly changing the landscape, and now construction fences encase the Lower School campus. The new Lower School Building will be under construction soon and will continue throughout the 2018-2019 school year.

Friday, September 7th was chosen for Groundbreaking and Anniversary festivities because September 8th marks the culmination of Pinecrest Academy’s 25th Anniversary. Since the 8th falls on a Saturday, the celebration was moved to Friday so that students could fully participate.

Many founding families will be in attendance, along with board members, faculty, staff, past and present families, building partners, and community leaders.

The 25th Anniversary, Ground Blessing and Groundbreaking activities will include an All School Mass at 8:30am, following by the Ground Blessing and Groundbreaking at the construction site on the Lower School campus at 9:40am.

A time capsule will be introduced by Pinecrest Academy Head of School, Dr. Edward Spurka, and students will present items to be included in the time capsule. Mrs. Charlene Dougal, Director of Development, will lead the official Groundbreaking with school leaders, who will use gold shovels to officially break ground.

The school has been on the Forsyth County campus since 1997.
