New Elementary Coming 2026

Help Name the New Elementary School!

Dear Effingham County Community,

We are excited to invite our community to help to help name the new elementary school on Blue Jay Road. The new school will be modeled after Rincon Elementary School and built to serve over 1,200 students from Pre-K through 5th grade. Our students are the heart of Effingham County, and they represent our most valuable resource and the future of our community. Naming this school is more than just a task—it’s a chance for us to come together, reflect our values, and create a name that will inspire and guide future generations.

We invite you to be part of this journey making sure our community’s pride and vision are reflected in every part of this new school. By participating in this process, you’ll help create a lasting legacy, shaping a welcoming and inspiring place for students, families, and educators for years to come. Please take a moment to share your thoughts in the survey below.

  • Located on Blue Jay Road between Blue Jay Commons and Blandford Crossing Subdivisions.
  • Set to open in August 2026
  • The 9th Elementary School for ECSD
  • Redistricting plans will kick off in the spring of 2025, with public presentations beginning in the fall of 2025.

Thank you for being a part of this process and for helping to shape the future of education in our community!

Yancy J. Ford
Superintendent
Effingham County School District
