Elkin City Schools is preparing to break ground on its new middle and high school gym after receiving $11 million from the Surry County Board of Commissioners, ending a years-long quest to source funding to expand the gym facilities and bring them into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
“We’re just very grateful for the county funding this project,” said Superintendent Myra Cox. “We hope to break ground by the end of July or early August.”

A new program is launching this year to connect students with businesses and industries in hopes of retaining talented young people in the local economy. The Surry Yadkin WORKS internship program is a partnership between Surry Community College, Yadkin County Schools as well as Elkin City, Mt. Airy City and Surry County Schools.
At the December meeting of the Elkin City School Board, Superintendent Dr. Myra Cox called it a “three-pronged approach” connecting government, businesses and education.
“Communities need a strong pool of local workers to choose from and this partnership, we think, will help close the gap between education and industry creating a stable local economy,” said Cox.
