The Question on Everyone’s Mind: Will the New Building Be Ready? (7/16/2019)
The answer is yes! It may not look like it (especially from Hillsboro Road), but phase 1 of our campus reconstruction project is right on schedule. Some of the final touches may not be in place, but the new building and front office addition will be ready for the start of school Monday, August 5. Even several weeks ago, when the photos below were taken, many areas, including the media center, cafeteria, and small gym, were move-in ready. More pictures here. If you can’t wait to see the new space in person, preview tours led by MNPS project manager Derek Howard are still available to parents. Tours are being given this week on Wednesday, July 17, from 4:30-5:30 PM, and Thursday, July 18, from 8-9 AM. Only six spaces are available per tour and you must sign up in advance here! (Note: Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required!)
