School Is Back in Session!

With the school year underway, construction crews at La Follette High School are working in designated areas, around the clock, and in coordination with learning to ensure construction progress continues with limited disruption to staff and students.

Summer construction phases are wrapping up, including a massive facelift at Lussier Stadium, which is now ready for fall sports. Students came back to newly renovated classrooms, upgraded bathrooms, and much more. But the construction won’t stop there! Two more phases of work will be ongoing this fall and are expected to be complete around the holidays, with additional newly remodeled spaces coming soon.

Classrooms received new paint, carpet, windows, ceiling tile, and much more
