New O.P. Earle Elementary School

Built in 1955, O.P. Earle Elementary is the second-oldest school in Spartanburg District One. The building’s aging infrastructure makes major renovations impractical and costly.

O.P. Earle has a long tradition of academic excellence and strong community involvement. A new school would be built within the city limits of Landrum, designed to serve approximately 700 students and include about 115,000 square feet of space. The estimated cost of the project is $50 million.

This new school would provide safe, flexible, and efficient classrooms that meet the needs of today’s learners while preserving the close-knit community spirit that defines O.P. Earle.

New T.E. Mabry Middle School

Built in 1954, T.E. Mabry Middle School is the oldest school in Spartanburg District One. The building’s outdated design and infrastructure make renovations impractical and expensive.

A new T.E. Mabry Middle School would be constructed on district-owned property at Highway 292 and New Cut Road in Inman. The facility would be able to serve 1,000 students and span approximately 170,000 square feet. The estimated cost of the project is $70 million.

This new facility would provide modern, safe, and flexible learning environments for grades 6–8, featuring updated technology, collaborative classrooms, and enhanced athletic and fine arts spaces to support students well into the future.

New Prospect Elementary School Additions

New Prospect Elementary School would receive major additions, including a new cafeteria, kitchen, and eight additional classrooms. The current cafeteria, built in 1978, is too small to efficiently accommodate the school’s student population.

Once complete, New Prospect would serve 650 students and add roughly 26,000 square feet of new space. The estimated cost of this project is $20 million.

These additions would provide more space for meal service, improve traffic flow during lunch, and create additional classrooms to support student learning—all while maintaining the welcoming, community-centered environment that makes New Prospect special.
