The new Adrian Burnett Elementary School, located on Brown Gap Road in the Halls community, replaced an old all-wood structure that no longer accommodated the needs of the student population or Knox County Schools. The new school accommodates approximately 800 students and features 34 classrooms; four teacher work areas; two special education classrooms with shared support spaces; 7,100-square-foot gymnasium, including a stage; music and art rooms; library; and a tornado shelter that houses approximately 935 occupants.
