Summer projects are in full swing across the district! 🛠️

These improvements support safety, facility upkeep, and student success, from drainage work at Herget and tuckpointing at Freeman to plumbing updates at Schneider, Smith, and Nicholson.

At West High, work has begun to update the original 1953 bleachers and replace the blue field house flooring with a new track surface and turf area for physical education, athletics, and activities. Transportation facility work is also underway, with solar canopies being installed to protect buses from the elements while helping reduce electricity costs. ☀️🚌

We’ll continue sharing updates as these projects move forward!

🇺🇸 In observance of Memorial Day, all District buildings and offices will be closed on Monday, May 25.

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Originally known as Decoration Day, this day of remembrance began after the Civil War as communities gathered to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers.
