Part
of Bond Issue Approved In Feb 2004
Six
new class rooms will be available next school year at Collinsville High School.
Dirt moving and measurements are in progress on the school's new property west
of the existing high school. The property was purchased from the Colpitt family
with funds approved by the Feb.
2004 school bond vote. The school board is also considering the possibility
of a track on the property in the future.
This
dirt work is further north of the classroom location and appears related to
drainage work and the roadway being added for fire truck access around the new
building at the high school. The high school baseball field is in the background.
This
view is facing north (from west of the high school).
This
view is facing southwest (towards Ridgelawn Cemetery across Highway 20).
View
facing west from the existing high school (towards the Colpitt home).

In August. 2004 Memory Ostrander was named to temporarily fill Jon Werthen's
post which will be on the ballot on Feb. 8th, 2005. Craig Creech (below)
was not shown in the other photos but has been the key figure in planning
and tracking implementation of all the school improvements now in progress.
Terry Due will take over most of those duties in Jan. 2005 when Craig
retires.
