🚧 High School Construction Update 🚧
Starting today, the entrance/exit to the high school commons parking lot from Crump Lane is closed for construction as crews replace the concrete entrance. The project will wrap up by January 6, 2025. Parking in the commons lot will remain available, but drivers will need to use alternate routes to access it:
1️⃣ Drive behind the school to access the commons parking lot.
2️⃣ Use the newly installed concrete drive off Crump Lane, located north of the high school and west of the baseball/softball fields
This work is part of the $11.6 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue supporting campus improvements. For more details, visit sbschools.us/future.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our high school campus!
