Bridgeport Elementary School

 

    Bridgeport Elementary School was formed in 1962, by the consolidation of Edwina, Mountain View, Irish Cut, Rock Hill and Mannings Chapel Schools.  The new school opened with ten teachers and approximately 200 students.  The school plant, located on a campus of approximately five acres, consists of the original 1962 building, which has been renovated this year, a new gymnasium, and __ classrooms.  The building program included renovating the former gymnasium by adding a library and office suite in that space.

 

    Bridgeport School is actively involved with its larger community.  A recreational sports program began in 1993, with basketball and expanded in 1995, to include baseball and softball.  Bridgeport School is a voting site in local, state, and national elections.  Other uses of the campus have included benefit concerts and programs, church annual meetings, and citizen's forums on various topics.
