October 2004
T
his summer was a busy one. Hundreds of construction workers labored long and hard at the five district construction sites rushing to complete classrooms to be ready for September's opening and bringing some major projects to "move in" condition. There were many "ohs and ahs" as teachers and students alike had a chance to walk through spanking-new facilities. Kevin Carpenter, in charge of the entire operation as Administrator of Facilities Operations, says that overseeing the development of this project "is probably the high light of his professional career." He expressed a well earned pride in the District's efforts dealing with the scope of this enormous undertaking and the positive results that have been achieved thus far.
