Hialeah Gardens Elementary School is celebrating the ribbon-cutting of Building 9, a new 6,942-square-foot classroom facility featuring six permanent classrooms that add capacity for 108 students. The new building replaces portable classrooms and expands learning opportunities for students while providing modern, permanent educational spaces that support the school's continued growth.

At the same ceremony, the school will break ground on Phase II of its campus improvement program, a $7.01 million modernization project that will enhance existing facilities through campus-wide HVAC, window, roof, exterior painting, and stucco improvements. Together, the two phases represent a nearly $13.7 million investment in creating a more modern, comfortable, and efficient learning environment for Hialeah Gardens Elementary students and staff.
