A much-needed school in Pueblo is now open.
A ribbon cutting was held today for the new Nettie Freed K-8 Expeditionary School on the north side of the city.
This school replaces Heroes Academy which was demolished in 2020. The new school was built thanks to a voter-approved bond measure from 2019.
"I've heard from lots of people who are in the neighborhood, are very excited, to have a school of any kind back here where there have been one for so long especially to have another middle school option for students," said Nocolas Roberts, Principal.
The school cost a little over $30 million and took about two years to build. Freed is one of five new schools to be built from the bond measure.
