Oglethorpe County Primary School will be demolished after the completion of the new K-5 elementary school on Fairground Road. However, the building’s history will be preserved in the final construction of the new school and in the minds of its former students.
Paul Thiel, the school system’s director of operations, confirmed that bricks from the former OCPS will be used as pavers in the pavilion at the end of the fourth-grade wing of the new elementary school.
