Moving day has finally arrived! The school is finished, except for the gym, and so we are moving in and classes will begin in the new facility Mon., Feb. 16. The side practice goals need to be relocated in the gym and the floor needs to be laid. Work is continuing on the track as well.

The school is really taking shape now. We'll be moving in as soon as everything is finished! The classrooms are getting finishing touches. The doors are being put in, and floor coverings are being laid. It's getting exciting!

Progress is continuing on the new school. In fact, about the only delay is waiting on bricklayers. The pics below show the inside of the cafetorium, which is adjacent to the gym, one of the classrooms, and some of the network cables being pulled for all the computers in the school. The parking lot has been poured behind the football stadium and work continues on the track.

The new school is really taking shape now. All of the foundation has been poured and all areas have been framed. Sheetrock will be applied soon to the interior walls, and the brick has finally arrived for the exterior. The courtyard was initially off by 14" but it has now been ripped out and repoured. Everything is still on schedule.

Progress is continuing throughout the hot summer months--right on schedule. Almost all of the school and gym is framed and the track has been dug.

The beginning of May finally brought some visible construction of our new facility! Three beams for the gymnasium went up in the air on May 1 followed by the pouring of some of the foundation on May 2. Dirt work on the track should begin next week.

All 263 piers are finally in the ground, and now grade beams are being dug and poured. Plumbing should start next week (weather cooperating!). A bid for the track was accepted this week as well and construction of the track should begin soon.

After quite a bit of rain and snow in recent weeks, construction workers were finally able to start drilling piers today. In all they will place 263 piers five to 22 feet under the slab. Also, workers started cutting the parking lot to hook up water and sewer for the new building.

Construction began around mid-January 2008. A month later we're still in the preliminary stages (dirt work) to prepare the foundation.
