Students in the Building





It has been a long process from the dream of a new building to getting students in the building but it has finally happened. We had all the students in the district from grades 7-12 in the new school for a day of getting used to the new surroundings and used to each other. It was wonderful to see our students having fun and interacting well with each other.

Nearing Completion




It has been a while since I posted any new pictures but the progress has gone well. We had hoped to take posession of the building by the end of January but it was just not possible. The contractors are still ahead of schedule but I think everyone is getting anxious to see the new building.
