New High School Project Contractor
Camden County Schools
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Camden, September 12, 2024 - Following a competitive process including a series of presentations on August 29, 2024, Camden County Schools is pleased to announce that we are contracting with Moseley Architects and Heartland Construction to begin work on the new high school project.
Founded in 1969 with just two employees, Moseley Architects has grown to over 340 employees and become one of the region’s most trusted architectural and engineering firms. Over their 55-year history, the firm has earned a reputation for quality, reliability, and responsiveness, with a portfolio that includes more than 50 million square feet of K-12 school space across the Southeast.
Moseley Architects are honored to have partnered with Camden County Schools since 2020 in the design of this new high school, and are thrilled to watch it become a reality. As students learn, grow, and make lasting memories here, they hope this facility will be a source of pride for the Camden County community for years to come.
Heartland Construction, Inc. performs General Contracting and Construction Management services throughout Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina. For more than 25 years, owners have turned to Heartland to complete quality projects that exceed expectations. Heartland’s extensive portfolio includes over 80 major educational projects throughout the years, totaling more than 5.5 million square feet of learning environments with more than 1,800 state-of-the-art classrooms delivered on time and under budget.
From elementary schools to high schools, Heartland’s projects are designed to accommodate the latest teaching methods and technological advancements, ensuring that students and educators have access to cutting-edge facilities.
Camden County Schools is excited to work with Moseley Architects and Heartland Construction as we move forward in providing the students of Camden County with the best educational experience possible, keeping “Our Students, Our Future” at the forefront of all we do.
Camden County Schools will make more announcements as the groundbreaking process begins. For more information on the development, visit the Camden County Schools website.
We were recently made aware of a potential threat against schools with a Camden reference. We have been in communication with the Camden County Sheriff's Department, and at this time, we have no evidence that it is a credible threat, or even a reference to Camden County Schools in North Carolina.
The safety of our students and staff is a priority of Camden County Schools. We are thankful for students and families who support our school system and inform us when they see or hear anything that could potentially impact schools. We encourage you to continue to be vigilant and to communicate any concerns.
