Madison County School Board members, Comer Elementary faculty and staff, parents and students, along with Comer city officials, Charles Black Construction officials and others attended the ceremony, which was followed by a tour of the new library, computer lab and classrooms. Comer Elementary Principal Dr. Christine Register welcomed the crowd, and spoke of how SPLOST funds and funds from the Gholston family trust have been used to improve the school. She said future plans include a walking track, outdoor classrooms and a science lab.
