🏫 Huntsville City Schools Purchases Land For New School in Hampton Cove

The Hampton Cove area continues to grow at a record pace, and Huntsville City Schools plans to grow along with it.

The district has officially approved the purchase of more than 80 acres near Highway 431 and Old Big Cove Road (near the Raceway), setting the stage for a future elementary or middle school.

Don’t get too excited though. The school likely wouldn’t open until 2033, as the purchase is part of the city’s 10-year capital plan.
