Wednesday marks first day back for Evansville Christian School

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - It’s a brand new year for students at Evansville Christian School.

Kindergarten through sixth-grade students started classes at the new campus building along Epworth Road in Newburgh on Wednesday.

The new building was a $13 million project.

Construction broke ground late last year.

Back in October, Evansville Christian School held a prayer dedication for the new building.

When we first reported that, ECS told us they were hoping to give their around 600 Kindergarten through sixth graders a smooth transition into their new building.

They already welcomed some inside the school for an open house on Monday.

ECS says across all of their grade levels, they have a record enrollment this year.

More than 940 students will attend ECS schools this year.
