Friesen Elementary’s Old Building Finds New Life at Genscher High

In a recent decision, the local collegeboard has allocated the former Friesen Elementary School building to Genscher High School. This move comes after Friesen Elementary School relocated to a new location on Schimmelstraße.

The local educational authority, responsible for school facilities, made the decision to repurpose the empty building. Genscher High School will now utilise the space, providing additional resources for its students.

The relocation of Friesen Elementary School to Schimmelstraße has freed up the original building, allowing the school board to redistribute it to another institution in need.

The former Friesen Elementary School building will now serve as an extension for Genscher High School, offering more green space and resources for its students. The college board's decision ensures that the building continues to be used for educational purposes.
