Eagles
In a meeting with contractors this morning, we learned that one of the construction project phases from last year's bond issue, Project Safe Eagles, will be able to start on Monday. Crews will begin working on the new entrance/office area and band room addition. Because of this construction, the area between the high school and weight room buildings will be fenced off, with students, staff, and patrons not being able to enter, exit, or pass through that area (indicated by the stripes). The main entrance and back entrance to the building will still be operational. Thank you for your patience while we strive to make this a safer Eagle Nation, and stay tuned because there are more projects on the horizon.
