You will be able to learn more about how Gibraltar Area Schools will be transformed in the coming years. The district and its contractor, CG Schmidt, are hosting two engagement sessions tonight (February 22nd) and Tuesday, March 5th, at 5 p.m. The sessions will include an overview of the project and its team, its two bid packages, the pre-qualification process, and a question and answer session. The improvements were approved last year as a part of a $29.8 million referendum to demolish the 1930s and 1950s sections of the building. In its place, the district plans on building a new two-station gym, community space, and classrooms in addition to updates to the cafeteria and offices. Superintendent Brett Stousland says there will be plenty of construction, but they are trying to limit student, staff, and visitor interruptions.

Stousland says the project will break ground behind the building on June 3rd and hopes to be completed by the end of August 2025.
