Jordan Elementary and Thompons Station Elementary and Middle School will welcome first students Aug. 10.
Three new schools are now open in Williamson County, with ribbon cutting ceremonies held the same week students are set to begin the school year.
Williamson County Schools leadership officially debuted Jordan Elementary in Brentwood and Thompson Station Elementary and Middle School Aug. 5.
The afternoon event, which included three ribbon cutting ceremonies at each of the schools gymnasiums, was a chance for families to get a first look at the freshly painted classrooms and libraries along with school merchandise.
The three new schools reflect Williamsons burgeoning student head count, and the latest version of the districts capital plan could lead to a total of 10 additional schools in the next five years.
In 1990, when I came on the school board, we had less than 10,000 students. Now, we have 40,000 attending our schools, Gary Anderson, Williamson County School Board Chair, told attendees at the opening of Thompsons Station Middle School.
Director of Schools Mike Looney and Mayor Rogers Anderson also addressed crowds at the well-attended events.
Students were called on-stage by their respective school principals to assist with the ribbon cutting.
Were excited about everything being brand new. The facility is amazing, Rebecca Hitt, a parent of a third grader at Thompons Station Elementary, said.
Williamson County Schools return Aug. 10.
The school was named in honor George Jordan, a local African American slave who later became a war hero.
Several of Jordans descendants attended the schools opening ceremony.
Its a great honor to have a medal of honor recipient and union soldier who is part of our family have a school named after him, Tommy Jordan III of Nashville said. Its a beautiful school.
Jordan Elementary will host a back to school bash Aug. 7, 4 p.m.

The most important thing is that we are ready when students get here because that is what this is all about, Waits said.
