While the construction of the athletic fields have generated a lot of excitement, there's been plenty of other work going on this summer, including new heating infrastructure, paving, security and technology upgrades, new lighting and sound systems, and new technology labs (to name just a few of the projects going on!). Our school has been a beehive of activity all summer, all over!
