GREEN Charter School Simpsonville Hosts Official Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony to Celebrate New Campus

GREEN Charter School Simpsonville proudly marked the official opening of its new campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, commemorating the transformation of a 75,000-square-foot former office building into a dynamic learning environment for students in grades K-7. The event celebrated the school’s commitment to STEAM-focused education—science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics—and its mission to cultivate academic excellence through individualized learning plans and small class sizes.

The ceremony featured a special performance by the school’s 6th grade choir, who sang the alma mater and attendees heard inspiring remarks from Principal Maria Werner and Executive Director Tom Cronin, who both emphasized the school’s dedication to fostering innovation and preparing students for future success.

The adaptive reuse of the existing building, designed by DP3 Architects, presented a unique opportunity to create a state-of-the-art educational facility while embracing sustainability. The design team strategically reconfigured open office layouts into age-appropriate classrooms and repurposed common areas to support student-centered learning. Key features of the new campus include a cafeteria, gymnasium, library, and collaborative learning spaces, all tailored to enhance the school’s mission of academic achievement and innovation.

The event concluded with the official GREEN ribbon cutting, symbolizing a new chapter for GREEN Charter School Simpsonville and its students. Families, faculty, and community members gathered to tour the new facility and witness firsthand the inspiring learning spaces designed to support future generations.
