The demolition of the old East Cobb Middle School campus on Holt Road is essentially complete.
The buildings have been torn down; what remains now is to haul off the rubble, twisted metal and other debris to make room for the relocated campus of Eastvalley Elementary School.
East Cobb Junior High School opened in 1963, two years before Wheeler High School across the street, then was renamed East Cobb Middle School in the 1970s.
The aging facilities continued to serve students until 2018, when ECMS moved to Terrell Mill Road, next to a relocated Brumby Elementary School.
The Cobb County School District recently released renderings of the new Eastvalley, with a construction contract expected to be approved and work to begin on the new campus in 2022.
The new Eastvalley is projected to open to students for the 2023-24 school year.
