Fredericksburg, Va. — The official Topping Out Ceremony for the new Stafford County Public Schools Elementary School (#18) was held on Thursday, July 10th.
A topping out milestone ceremonially draws attention to the placement of the final beam at the highest point of a building’s steel structure.
The new elementary school is located at 580 Stafford Plaza Drive in Fredericksburg.
On track to open in the fall of 2026, the school will have more than 130,000 square feet of space and will house up to 1,070 students in kindergarten through grade 5.
The school site will include a play field, paved play areas, and modular play areas, a passenger vehicle parking lot, a school bus pickup and drop off loop, and a Stafford County Public Schools Transportation Services bus parking depot (capable of accommodating 88 school buses and 100 employee-owned vehicles.)
