School of the 21st Century

Significant progress is underway across multiple district construction projects. Construction of the new arena is progressing as scheduled, with the foundation work now underway following the successful installation of geopiers. Crews have begun plumbing and pouring footings, which lay the groundwork for the next phase. The concrete pad will be poured next, marking a major milestone in the development of this exciting project. Construction of the new baseball and softball turf fields is well underway. These facilities will also receive comprehensive upgrades, including enhanced broadcasting capabilities, improved dugouts, new press boxes, additional seating, shading structures, and modern sound systems. New display signage will be installed on site in the near future. Sod from the baseball and softball fields will be repurposed to create a new practice field at Oak Grove Middle School, with installation scheduled for July. This will create a very nice activity surface for the Oak Grove campus. Additionally, the high school parking lot project has started. This extensive effort includes demolition of existing lots, installation of storm drainage systems, soil stabilization, aggregate base application, and installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, asphalt paving, and final signage. This project is slated for completion by August 1. These improvements reflect the district’s continued commitment to enhancing educational and athletic facilities for students, staff, and the community.
