  • Drywell - Mr. Segroves plans to finish the drywell project in front of the high school this summer.
  • Landscaping - Two trees and a holly bush have been removed from in front of the elementary.  It has not yet been determined how to utilize the flower beds around the school.
  • Maintenance Cover - A cover will be built over the Conex storage containers in the Ag lot.  This will also provide coverage for any items not stored in the container.
  • Ag Building - The large garage doors have been replaced with grant funding.  Also, the window in Glen Landrus' office has been replaced with a door for easier access to the greenhouse.
  • Greenhouse - The old greenhouse has been removed to make room for the new greenhouse.  The new greenhouse will be finished in December.  This project was funded by grant money and the capital projects fund.
  • Bus Garage - The doors have been replaced with insulated garage doors.  The ceiling will also be insulated to make the shop more energy efficient.
  • Cement Signs - Mr. Segroves would like to restore the lighting in the cement signs in front of the elementary and high school.  He would like to put in orange lights to represent our school colors.  He would also like to repair the crumbling entrances to the elementary school.
  • Steeple and Bell - The church bell has been removed and donated to the museum.  The steeple will also be removed this summer and taken to the museum.  
  • Football Field - There is standing water at the football field.  A drainage system will be installed to eliminate the problem.
  • Fields - The grass on all of the fields is in great shape and will be ready for sports.
