WILMER – There are three public schools and one charter school in the Wilmer Hutchins school district right now.
On Sept. 24, there will officially be the beginning of one more exclusively in the City of Wilmer.
Several months ago, the council approved the contractor for the new Wilmer Elementary School, and in a few weeks the official groundbreaking will mark the occasion.
With several Dallas Independent School Board trustees and Dallas Superintendent of Schools Michael Hinojosa in attendance, the ceremony at 510 E Belt Line Road in Wilmer will take place at 10 a.m.
It was several months ago the site location was introduced to residents with the placing of the signage to welcome the highly anticipated new school.
“The school is due to open August 2020,” Wilmer Mayor Emanuel Wealthy-Williams said.
Wilmer’s current population is about 4,000 people, and currently Wilmer students attend Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary, Kennedy-Curry Middle School, Wilmer-Hutchins High School or the Golden Rules Schools Charter School. The new elementary school in Wilmer will be the first Dallas ISD elementary school in Wilmer since the Wilmer-Hutchins ISD was dissolved in 2006 after the United States Department of Justice approved the closure in December 2005, according to Wikipedia.
“This is the beginning of a bright new legacy for Wilmer,” Wealthy-Williams said at the placing of the sign event.
“This will be the first school in the city since 2006. Our kids will finally be able to go to school in their own city. Success of any city is made by one great decision at a time.”
