Building the Future of Guilford County Schools
Build S.M.A.R.T. (Strategic Modernization and Renovation of Tomorrow’s schools) is a county-wide initiative investing over $2 billion to modernize, rebuild, and reimagine schools across Guilford County. This work is about more than new buildings—it’s about creating safe, inspiring, and future-ready learning environments that meet the needs of every student. shift_ed is a proud partner of Build S.M.A.R.T., alongside Action Greensboro and Guilford Education Alliance, working together to engage the community, amplify student and family voices, and ensure that these historic investments lead to lasting opportunity for generations to come.
