Bridges Prep leaders break ground for new school in Port Royal Golden shovels turned sandy soil Tuesday, Nov. 20, to commemorate the start of construction on Bridges Prep Charter School’s new 72,000-squarefoot middle and high school facility in Port Royal. The groundbreaking is the culmination of more than three years of work to secure financing, work through plans and designs, locate and buy the property, and receive all the necessary permits and approvals. The new facility is scheduled to be ready in 12 months. “This has been quite a journey, but today as we break ground for the new school, it’s certainly been worth the work,” said Dee Matthews, chair of the Bridges Prep Board of Directors. “I look forward to when we do the ribbon cutting in about one year, and see even bigger smiles on the faces of our students, staff and families.”
Attending the groundbreaking were local leaders, including Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville, Port Royal Town Councilman Darryl Owens, Blakely Williams from the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, newly announced Head of School Gary McCulloch, and representatives of the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department, which has a fire station just around the corner from the new school. As construction starts, Bridges Upper School students are attending class at the site in temporary modular classrooms. Members of the school’s National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society and Student Council attended the groundbreaking. The middle and high school buildings, including a multipurpose room and administrative space, cover 71,692 square
feet. The approved construction bid was $12,570,794 and site-preparation for construction cost about $2.5 million. The site work is almost complete and the building contractor, Hood Construction, expects to complete the project in 365 days. The 20-acre property, located off Robert Smalls Parkway south of Cross Creek Shopping Center, was purchased for $606,600, roughly $30,000 per acre. Designing and building an elementary school and related support facilities will be the next phase of work – which likely will require additional financing. “We have been fortunate to have worked very hard to increase our enrollment and to be very responsible with our spending, which have helped make our financing for this project possible,”
Matthews said. Enrollment at Bridges Prep has doubled since it opened in 2013. Bridges Prep received assistance in financing this project from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Rural Development Fund, led locally by Nickie Toomes. Additional banking support came from Ameris Bank, led by Christian Kata and Tom Hermann. Bridges Preparatory School was chartered by South Carolina in mid-2012 and opened in August 2013. In 2017, it was named a SC Charter School of Distinction and rated as one of the top three in South Carolina for academic achievement and academic growth. As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition. Bridges Prep SEE FUTURE, PAGE A6
Bridges Prep hires McCulloch as next Head of School Gary McCulloch, the popular principal at River Ridge Academy in Bluffton, will become the next Head of School for Bridges Prep Charter School in Beaufort. The Bridges Board of Directors finalized McCulloch’s contract Gary McCulloch last week with a unanimous approval after voting to negotiate an employment contract with him Nov. 12. “To say we are thrilled is an understatement,” Bridges Prep Board Chair Dee Matthews said. “Mr. McCulloch brings to Bridges Prep his SEE SCHOOL, PAGE A6
