Hallways, bleachers show improvements

Changes: 1.) On the last day of being in the building on March 13, students walked the dark hallways for the last time. 2.) As the students were away, the hallways underwent a new paint job to help brighten the space. 3.) While students were away for five months, the custodial staff and other district staff members began to work on improving the hallways at SHS. “The hallways were not very inviting and really dull,” Principal Chris Routt said. In the spring, Routt made a plan to paint the hallways to make them more inviting. 4.) Meanwhile, the old wooden bleachers were replaced. Routt said the new bleachers will benefit students and parents at games and events happening in McClain Hall. The bleachers can move for multiple configurations, allowing sporting, arts, and graduation events to have the setup they need that best suits the event’s needs. With the renovation of the bleachers, McClain Hall lost about 300 seats and now seats 800 people in the bleachers. The bleacher replacement cost about $125,000 to complete.
