T.S. Hill Middle School renovations

Thursday, July 25, 2019

The T.S. Hill Middle School addition is making progress, and school officials say it should be available for use by the time school starts Aug. 28. The renovation of the middle school, as well as improvements to the high school, both elementary schools and football stadium were made possible when voters approved a $15 million bond issue in April. Here are some pictures of the renovations that were taken on Wednesday, July 24, 2019.

The lines on the floor are all that remains from a wall separating the ACE classroom from the T.S. Hill Middle School cafeteria. The wall was torn down to allow additional seating in the cafeteria. The door on the right leads to a storage area and could be used as an office for the school's new resource officer. (DEXTER STATESMAN/Kyle Smith)
