The Southern Door School District will be busy this summer renovating the school in time for classes beginning in late August, and the construction was officially marked on Wednesday when they broke ground in front of the old district office. 

Although construction was already underway on the inside of the buildings, which has mostly been in the classrooms and the former Talon Fitness Center, which is set to be the new district office. The indoor multipurpose training facility was all the buzz at the groundbreaking as Athletic Director Mark Jonas spent some time during the ceremony to talk about the new big project. 

The facility is set to include synthetic turf 30 yards long, ten yards for the endzone, and room around the perimeter of the field. The other outdoor projects set for Southern Door that were a part of the groundbreaking included the demolition of the district office which will lead to more parking spots in the main parking lot, updates to an aging septic system, and construction of a bus garage. Southern Door School District School Board President Penny Price talks about the referendum projects finally being in construction mode. 

Construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024 with Miron Construction Co., Inc. serving as the construction manager and Bray Architects serving as the architect.
