Wright Elementary School unveiled its new cafetorium building, paved car rider line, and covered PE pavilion during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday morning, marking the completion of improvements funded by the county’s half-cent sales tax.
- Fifth-grade music students performed at the event, which drew local dignitaries and school board members to the campus at 305 Lang Road.
During the ceremony, Principal Boyd discussed the six pillars of the Okaloosa County School District and how the half-cent sales tax projects are truly student-focused.
The new cafetorium combines cafeteria and auditorium spaces and includes a modern music classroom. A PE pergola and improved car rider line were also part of the upgrades.
Superintendent Marcus Chambers expressed gratitude to county voters for approving the funding that made the improvements possible.
- “We are deeply grateful to the voters of Okaloosa County for approving the Half Cent Sales Tax, making these wonderful improvements possible,” Chambers said. “Together, we are building a brighter future for our students!”
The project represents one of several improvements being implemented across the Okaloosa County School District through the voter-approved sales tax initiative.
