Construction is underway!
Outside the building, large piles of rocks and dirt were temporarily placed on the School’s football field. The rocks were crushed to create a solid layer of gravel as a base for construction activities.
Inside the building, temporary walls separate construction spaces from school activities to ensure student and staff safety and limit disruptions during construction activities.
