SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. — Briarcrest Christian School announced plans Tuesday for a $5.3 million expansion of its elementary school on Houston Levee Road.
Construction is expected to begin in June on a multi-purpose gymnasium, elementary STEM lab, art room, new classrooms and a playground designed for pre-school students.
