ENTERPRISE, Ala. (AP) — More than three years after a tornado destroyed Enterprise High School, killing eight students, a brand new high school has opened.

The $89 million school opened for the first day of classes Monday.

Enterprise High principal Rick Rainer tells The Dothan Eagle he’s grateful to have his own school again. The school had been using temporary facilities at Enterprise State Community College since the 2007 tornado.

The new 520,000-square-foot facility boasts more than 100 classrooms, each with an LCD monitor and projector, about 10 science labs and three distance learning labs.

At the instruction of former President George Bush, who visited the school after the tornado, a Wildcat mosaic tile at the old school was preserved and moved to the new school.
