It's business as usual for students and teachers despite continuing construction at North and South High Schools.
Work continues to make strides at both campuses.
The academic wing at North is complete except for some cabinet installation and finishing touches in science labs. South's academic addition is continuing with painting, lighting and other final work. The wing should be turned over to District 99 next month so the area can be cleaned and furnishings installed. Already, students are finding better conditions with brighter rooms and hallways, refurbished areas and academic resource centers. The three extra weeks of summer vacation proved beneficial to get that renovation work completed inside.
