🚧 Construction Update: Vo-Ag Wing at Southern Boone High School 🚧

Work continues to move forward on the new Vo-Ag wing at Southern Boone High School! All load-bearing walls are now complete, roof joists have been installed, and the roof for the large shop area is in place. Crews are currently focused on finishing the remaining roof work, while HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems continue to take shape as the project progresses.

Once complete, the addition will include a state-of-the-art vocational and agriculture department featuring two classrooms, lab space, and a shop, along with two new art classrooms and a family and consumer science classroom.

These improvements are made possible through the $11.6 million No Tax Rate Increase Bond Issue, approved by voters in April 2024. The project remains on track for completion in Summer/Fall 2026, and we’re excited to see it come together for our students and community! 🦅❤️🖤

This year’s theme, “How the animals, plants, and nature in Boone County make your life better or more fun,” truly came to life through Elizabeth’s artwork and caught the judges’ attention.

Elizabeth will receive an award, and her artwork will be displayed at the Boone County Earth Day Festival in Columbia this April. 🎨🌎
