New Rustburg Middle School welcomes students

Renovations took place over 18 months

CAMPBELL COUNTY, Va.Rustburg Middle School students got a firsthand look at their new school on Thursday.

The new Rustburg Middle School has been under construction for nearly 18 months, with delays due to supply chain issues impacting plans.

We’re told the new school can hold 750 students.

“From now on, I think kids want to be there. I think teachers want to be there. I think that impacts your overall culture,” -Assistant Superintendent for Campbell Co. Schools Clay Stanley said. “You know, you’ve got to enjoy what you do and the people that you work with, and I think having a new building certainly adds to that.”

In total, renovations cost over $41 million and includes a gym, stage, four S.T.E.M. and computer lab rooms, and better security doors.
