Students in four Hamilton County schools will have brighter classrooms at a lower cost to taxpayers thanks to Lowe’s.
The company’s Charitable and Education Foundation is awarding a $100,000 grant to the school district to retrofit lighting at Orchard Knob Middle School, Lookout Mountain Elementary, Woodmore Elementary and Tyner Academy.
