Space aplenty is evident in new high school science rooms built during the summer. The countertops at right will eventually have several sinks drilled into them, adding function to the new room. The new chemistry classroom (not pictured) features several islands for student lab work.

Superintendent Jerry Schutz shows a window covering that would be closed in the event of an emergency. The Classrooms in the tornado safe addition look similar to that of a traditional classroom. Fifth-grade teacher windows are also double-paned. Victoria Dinsdale is pictured during Monday night’s open house.
