Elementary School to Office Space
The Douglas County Sentinel is reporting today that the original Bill Arp Elementary School on Highway 5 is being converted into office space, storage for records, and a training facility for teachers. The school has been active since 1906 and has been expanded many times to keep up with the increase in student population.
Some commentors on the article would like to see the school be listed on the National Register of Historical Places. This is not likely to happen since recommendations made in two separate Historic Resource Surveys have not been fully complied with, including the historic designation of the Georgia Western Cotton Mill, which has national historic significance.
Elizabeth originally reported about Bill Arp Elementary turning into office space and storage.
