The Radius wall, which will bear the School name and logo is now complete across the east end of the football field, and foundation is complete at the flagpole area. The extensive slope grading is completed at the East slope, along the property line, and at the South property line. The Tennis Courts have taken shape with final grading and erection of fence posts.

Temperatures rise as summer draws closer and morale remains high on site, as all trades show great cooperation in coordinating the complex systems that will comprise this modern and comprehensive High School Campus.
