King's Ridge Christian Opens New High School, Life Center

A construction fire a few months ago didn't slow preparations for King's Ridge Christian School's new high school and the Hendrick Center for Life Impact.

On Tuesday afternoon the non-denominational Christian school opened the doors of both buildings to the community to see what the construction has brought to the school campus.

A steady stream of parents and students visited the campus.

But the school's Shuntel Beach said attention also should be given to the middle school, which used to house both high school and middle school classes. The school has been repurposed exclusively for middle school, and its front facade now looks like it, too.

Architects Bob Sussenbach and Michael Williamson spent the time for the community open house not only visiting with parents, students and supporters, but also checking out how well their designs came together during construction.

The video and photo gallery accompanying this article includes such things as two of the three art classrooms, with art teacher Michaelangelo Wolfe and students Chase Wansley, Zack Witherspoon and Alex Bryant discussing the coming school year.

The two-story high school includes collaborative rooms allowing small groups of students and/or teachers to work on projects outside of the larger classrooms.
