Celebrating Progress: Floral City Elementary School Expansion “Topping Off” Ceremony

Today marked an exciting milestone in the ongoing development of Floral City Elementary School (FCE) as many school and district staff were invited to witness the highly anticipated “Topping Off” event. 🎉 This ceremony, which celebrates the placement of the final beam in the building’s structure, is a significant moment in the multi-phase FCE expansion project that has been in the works for over 9 years.

The latest stage of this expansion brings the addition of a new building that includes 11 additional classrooms, along with a dedicated PK classroom. These new spaces are set to welcome students in the 2025-2026 school year, providing a state-of-the-art learning environment for future generations. 🏫✨

This expansion project is not just about adding more classrooms—it’s a reflection of the continued investment in our students, educators, and the community as a whole. It’s been a long journey, and today’s event was a testament to the hard work and dedication that has gone into making this vision a reality.

A huge thank you goes out to the entire Citrus County Schools facilities team and all district leaders for their commitment and tireless efforts in making this project a success. Additionally, we’d like to extend a special thanks to Floral City Elementary School’s administrators, including Principal Trish Kahler and her exceptional leadership team, for their continued guidance and support throughout this journey.

This expansion is a symbol of the future of education in our community, and we can’t wait to see the new classrooms come to life in the coming years!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to make strides toward improving the learning environment for all of our students. 🙌
