Another milestone in the continuing project of addition and renovation at Southwest High School.  Marking the "closing" of the shell, students led the way and filled in the last bricks.  Windows will be installed this and next week.  The outer shell will be completed in time for heating against the winter weather.

The building represents the school district investment in the future of our district and our city.  It is only fitting that the students representing our future add their work to completing the brick work for the future - theirs and ours.

Ten new rooms have been opened since the start of construction in March of this year.  The center section and 14 more rooms will be added around the middle of March 2016.  Included in the next year opening will be the kitchen, commons and media center.  The entire project is scheduled to be completed by fall of 2016.
