The new Oxford Elementary School will be built to accommodate growth in eastern Scott County and is scheduled to open in August 2026.  The Scott County Board of Education officially named elementary school #10 at its December meeting after numerous conversations with community members and constituents over the past several months. 

The mascot will be the Oxford Owls with a unique color scheme of orange and navy blue to honor the former school by the same name and to develop a sense of identity and school spirit for this new education community.

The site of the new school is less than one mile from Oxford, the historic crossroads community near the intersection of US 922/Newtown Road and US 62.  Founded in the mid-1800’s, education has been a cornerstone for the area since its inception.  Two former schools are part of the Oxford Historic District listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

The first, Oxford Schoolhouse, sits across the street from Oxford Christian Church on Oxford Village Drive.  What locals refer to as Oxford High School actually served as both a grade school and high school which opened in 1928.  The school continued to grow and expand welcoming students from smaller community schools like Muddy Ford, Dry Run, Oakland, and Newtown.  Oxford closed in 1955 with the opening of the new consolidated Scott County High School.  Grade school students went to Eastern Elementary School.

Oxford is credited as the birthplace of the Scott County Schools Transportation Department when parent JK Feedback first used his pick-up truck to transport area students.  Without his efforts, many students wouldn’t have been able to go to school.  The power of parental involvement and removing barriers to education were important then too.

The adjacent Future Farmers of America workshop was built by students using bricks they salvaged from the original Great Crossing School. Today we refer to this application of real-world skills and hands-on learning as career and technical education.  It is also a great example of the difference our students can make when we provide resources and opportunities for them to learn and grow to become productive and contributing members of our community, as outlined in the Scott County Schools Profile of a Learner. 

Naming of the new Oxford Elementary School honors long-standing tradition and commitment to education in eastern Scott County and for Scott County Schools.  We are excited to share updates as our new school takes shape.
