  • Installation of above-ceiling mechanical, electrical, and sprinkler systems.
  • Drywalling of classrooms on the first and second floors of the classroom center
  • Execution of site work/grading of the future tennis courts and stadium facilities

Phase Five of construction will commence later this summer and include:

  • Relocating the existing utility polls along Lower Road
