Bedford County Board of Education officials have set the date for two new school open houses in the days to come.

A ribbon cutting for Community High School, 1140 Unionville-Deason Road, is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday in its theater. A parent/student orientation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday.

An open house for Learning Way Elementary, located at 200 Learning Way Drive, will be held at 2 p.m. Aug. 9 in the play gym.

The public is invited to attend these open houses. Following brief ceremonies, all are welcome to tour the new schools.
