Update on Repairs to William Henry Middle School
Work is in progress to the storm-damaged William Henry Middle School! Dr. Sylvia M. Henderson, our Interim Superintendent, and Mr. Ade Kuforiji, our Interim Assistant Superintendent, met this morning with Mr. Elliott Hardin, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, and RYJ, the general contractor and construction management company tasked with restoring William Henry Middle School. The group toured the building to review the current status and to briefly discuss next steps. “Our main focus currently is ensuring that the school will be operational by fall”, said Dr. Sylvia M. Henderson. We will keep you updated with future progress and will be certain to share photos along the way!
