Forest Grove School District, Cornelius Elementary School Replacement

Construction of a state-of-the-art education facility, slated to replace the current 72,000 SF Cornelius Elementary School, is set to commence in mid-2024. The new two-story school will offer an impressive range of amenities catering to its 500 students, including a new gymnasium, family activity area, and an outdoor classroom. During the construction phase, Cornelius students will continue their classes in the existing facility until the completion of the new school, anticipated by late 2025. Pence is thrilled to contribute to the FGSD community throughout the duration of this project.
