Bond 2024 Update!
Steel is going up at the new high school site! If you've passed by the block, you've probably seen large trucks delivering steel beams this week. Those beams are to erect the framework for the high school building as well as provide support structures for the roofs on the gym and locker rooms. Foundation work continues to stretch eastward as the steel frame goes up on the west side. #MovingForward #TPND

Construction workers were able to complete another concrete pour on the next pad of the site plan and the foundation continues to move east. Walls continue to be erected for the gym and locker room areas and you can begin to see how these areas will be situated on the west side. Another great drone shot shows where the new high school will be located compared to athletic fields and the current campus. Building the Future-One Mind At A Time! #TPND
