Grand opening event to be held at Jerry Zucker Middle
Staff report
A ceremonial grand opening will be held Monday morning for Jerry Zucker Middle School of Science, on the late local philanthropist Jerry Zucker’s birthday.
The school is a hybrid magnet and neighborhood school. Zucker’s family set up two funds at the Coastal Community Foundation for the school, and other family members raised more than $55,000.
The 400 students attending the school also will benefit from a partnership with Intertech employees and other companies.
Students attend the school from across the county, but the district reserved 100 seats for any middle school student living in North Charleston. The 92,000-square-foot school includes a focus
on the themes of animal care, pre-engineering, health services and issues surrounding the environment.
Special guests at today’s grand opening ceremony will include Anita Zucker and members of her family, Superintendent Nancy McGinley, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, Coastal Community Foundation George Stevens, Phillippe Cousteau and Rabbi Ari Sytner.
Zucker Middle School is located at 6401 Dorchester Road in North Charleston. The ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m. in the school’s courtyard.
