County and school board officials met on August 26, 2016, to dedicate the new Enka Intermediate School facilities. The school is approximately 116,000 sq. ft. and contains 54 classrooms for a capacity of about 850 Grade 5 and 6 students. The tower of the school is modeled after the old Enka factory tower and is made of 20,000 bricks that were salvaged from the former American Enka factory.
Enka Intermediate School not only relieves crowding in local district schools, but provides students with modern technology and premises to help facilitate learning.
