Superintendent Joseph Morgan is proud of the progress being made during Phase Three of the project. “It is incredible to see the changes in the Intermediate/Junior High School building, as these are the first major repairs and upgrades in the building since it was built over 50 years ago,” he said. “The upgrades made over the summer campus-wide not only create a better learning environment for our students, but provide the District with energy efficiency improvements, including new LED lighting, new high efficiency boilers, and a new temperature control system to keep the building cool when it is hot out,” he said. “Cost savings will also be realized through a more energy efficient building envelope resulting from new windows and roofing insulation.” 

Work is continuing at the Intermediate and Junior High School building this fall and winter. Among the current and/or upcoming projects are: installation of full-building air-conditioning, replacement of ceiling systems, full-building conversion of lighting to LED with upgraded energy-saving controls, replacement of fire alarms building-wide, replacement of the boiler system, including the Building Management System, and replacement of electrical panels and distribution systems. Phase Three is expected to be completed in the spring of 2023.   

Overall, the project is on track and on budget. Phase Four (the last phase) will begin during the summer of 2023. This phase includes replacement of sidewalks, parking lots, driveways, bus loops, signage, and site lighting throughout all campus locations. The scope of work also includes new flooring and lockers at the Junior High School.
