Superintendent Elect Mike Welsh said that this is something that the entire community should be extremely proud of –
The original building was constructed in 1929. One of the newer buildings on the back side of the campus will be used to house Pre-K in addition to other programs. The remainder of the original campus will be demolished at a later date.
The project was funded by the county one cent sales tax.
