A front entryway, two music education rooms, a conference room, and a special education area were among the new spaces you could see at Algoma Middle and High School on Wednesday evening. The Algoma School District hosted an open house to showcase some of the work completed as part of a $10.2 million referendum approved by voters in April 2024.

Working with Bayland Buildings, the referendum also included new plumbing and roofing at Algoma Elementary School, safety upgrades at the middle/high school, replacement of the middle/high school’s parking lot and track, updated lighting, sound, and ceiling tile at the Algoma Performing Arts Center, and remodeled areas of the middle/high school including the band and choir rooms, the Algoma Venture Academy, the agriculture classroom, and restrooms.

Superintendent Jesse Brinkmann said last month that he was happy with the work completed so far.

You can learn more about the improvements from the post by the Algoma Area Chamber of Commerce below. Meanwhile, work continues in Fish Creek at Gibraltar Area Schools as they enter the fifth month of Phase 2 work for their $29.8 million referendum project. You can see its progress here.
