School officials unveil a new institution of learning.
Tonight Dunlap Valley Middle School hosted their first open house.
School board members, students and area residents attended the building's ribbon cutting ceremony.
And just three weeks into the school year parents got a chance to look around Dunlap School District's newest addition.
"I think for a long time they have had a reputation for having a really good education system out here and that is what I have always heard about," says Ellen Smith.
"In the Dunlap Schools we always say that we offer high quality education. We are a caring institution and we also have a lot of fun with kids and that I think people look at us as a premier school district," says Jeanne Williamson.
Williamson says this middle school has 371 students enrolled but it can hold 450.
The 17 and half million-dollar building is 78 thousand square feet.
That is equivalent to about two and half football fields.
