CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Freedom Elementary School opens in Clarksville for the first day of school Wednesday, welcoming 850 students to a $45 million building
Around 850 students in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System began the school year inside a brand new building.
Freedom Elementary School, located at 1776 Wallace Boulevard in north Clarksville near Fort Campbell Military Base, opened its doors for the first time Wednesday morning, welcoming students in Pre-K through 5th grade.
The new building spans 104,081 square feet and cost $45 million to construct.
Freedom Elementary is the 26th elementary school in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. To help ease the anxiety of students attending a new school, the district hired teachers from the feeder schools, Barkers Mill, Ringgold, and West Creek Elementary, so students would see familiar faces from their previous schools.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
