Wilson County (Tennessee) district begins construction of its 11th elementary school

LaGuardo Elementary is set to open in 2025 in Lebanon.

Construction has begun on a new elementary school in the Wilson County (Tennessee) district.

WSMV-TV reports that the 45-classroom LaGuardo Elementary School will be built on Double Log Cabin Road near Highway 109 in Lebanon.

The school will be outfitted with enhanced security features, like impact-resistant windows and doors and state-of-the-art security cameras. Some of the cameras will have weapon identification software and 24-hour monitoring.

It also will have a storm shelter and a 1,100-seat gymnasium. The classroom capacity will be 1,030 students.

The new school will be the district’s 11th elementary school and 25th school building overall. The additional classrooms will help keep children out of portable classrooms at other district schools, officials said.

LaGuardo Elementary is slated to open in fall 2025.
