There’s a special energy in the air during back to school season — eager students, pristine classrooms, the promise of new beginnings. At Shockey, we bring that same sense of anticipation to every school we build. For us, it’s more than just constructing buildings — it’s creating environments where students can thrive, teachers can inspire, and communities can grow.
With decades of K–12 experience — and more than $550 million in school construction in just the last five years alone — Shockey understands what it takes to build schools that meet today’s standards and tomorrow’s dreams. We offer flexible delivery methods tailored to each district’s needs, including:
- Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) – A collaborative model that brings transparency, cost certainty, and schedule confidence to complex educational projects.
- Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build – Proven delivery methods that benefit from our deep building expertise and strong partnerships with subcontractors and design teams. If you have a clearly defined scope of work, we excel at matching the very best people to your project.
No matter the approach, we serve as a true partner from start to finish — working hand in hand with school districts, administrators, and staff to align with academic calendars, safety protocols, and community expectations.
Building for Changing Student Needs — Today and Tomorrow
Every school we build is designed around the evolving needs of students, teachers, and the broader community. Our current portfolio of work — from western Maryland to eastern West Virginia to South Boston, Fairfax County, and the Piedmont region of Virginia — reflects this commitment, whether a cutting-edge high school or a reimagined elementary campus:
- Battlefield Park Elementary School, Mechanicsville, VA
- Halifax County High School + Athletic Fields, South Boston, VA
- Jennie Dean Elementary School, Manassas, VA
- Dranesville Elementary School, Herndon, VA
- Elementary School #18, Fredericksburg, VA
- Herndon Elementary School, Herndon, VA
- Burgundy Farm Country Day School, Capon Bridge, WV
- High School #14, Leesburg, VA
- Southern Middle School, Oakland, MD
- Hartwood High School, Fredericksburg, VA
Each project reflects a thoughtful balance of form and function, built to support educational excellence and boost community pride.
Why These Projects Matter — Every Day, Every Student
We believe great schools are the foundation of strong communities. That’s why every Shockey project is guided by principles that matter:
Student-Centric Environments: Bright, welcoming spaces that reflect how students learn, move, and grow.
Architectural Excellence: Attention to light, layout, and long-term durability — creating schools that are both beautiful and built to last.
Partnership-First Approach: Strong collaboration with school districts, design teams, and local stakeholders to ensure a smooth, transparent process.
Delivery Excellence: Whether CMAR, design-build, or traditional delivery, we meet deadlines, protect budgets, and support long-term success.
As the academic year begins again, we’re delivering schools exactly when and how the communities expect them. While the students may not witness the behind-the-scenes coordination, planning, innovation, problem-solving, and attention to detail that goes into these projects, they’ll feel it and you can count on it — in spaces that are safe, smart, and built just for them.
At Shockey, this is the real measure of our work. We have experience building just about everything, and we couldn’t be more excited to keep building learning environments for the next generation. If you’ve got a school in your future, let us know. It’s never too early to hit the books.
