To keep up with growing demand for their athletics and performing arts programs, Cornerstone teamed up with SHP to reimagine their campus. What started as a master planning effort quickly turned into a successful fundraising campaign—and ultimately, a brand-new 25,000sf addition designed to give students room to shine.

"SHP's role in our expansion project was invaluable. Their collaborative, caring, and community-focused approach left a lasting impression on our entire school community. Cornerstone was described as one of the most impressive charter campuses in all of North Carolina. It would not be the same without them."

– Joe Caraher, Director, Cornerstone Charter Academy

"Huge credit to the Cornerstone administration and students for their resilience and adaptability; seeing them move into these new spaces makes all the hard work worth it."

– David Powell, Principal, SHP
