Construction Progresses For New EV High School

It’s been almost a year since the school bond for a new Elkhorn Valley School passed. Now, the infrastructure is growing fast with the scheduled project to be done by early spring of next year.

The project involves a 17.225 million dollar renovation and new build for the building. With bigger plans for the future, the school will not be redoing everything at once, but the board does have plans to continue the project later.

Many updates on the new structure seem to be going quite fast. Almost all the walls are up on the new buildings and a steel frame for the classroom quad with a stairwell is put in place. A new roof was also added.

“It’s moving really quickly,” said Superintendent Keith Leckron. “It’s pretty amazing to see how fast this building is being put together.”

The new school is being built south of the current elementary wing. After the project is complete, the 1913 and 1922 wings will be demolished. Then, in the future a four classroom preschool wing will be added north of the building and a playground  built on the north side. All building will connect to the 1987 building.

“I see it everyday, but if somebody saw this project every week, they’d really notice progress,” said Leckron.
