Minatare High School Remodel 2024-2025
Soon after school was out for the summer of 2024, work started on some remodeling at the high school. Work on the building began with moving everything that was in the upstairs offices, lounge, counselors’ office, downstairs Sped department and downstairs History room into the hallways of the school.
Renovations took place over the next few months and were completed just around a day or so before school resumed on August 16th. Old rooms were made into new rooms, and all Administrative Offices were relocated to the downstairs. New doors were also put in all of the classrooms, as well as the entry ways into the school.
We ask that if you are coming to the school to please use the West front door (where the handicap accessible ramp is).
This project completion involved a lot of moving parts, several people and many hours.
We would like to Thank all of those that were involved in this, including the following: Anderson-Shaw Construction, Snell’s services, Pat Horner, Grady Robbins, Quinton Robbins, Chris Geary, Jeb Bretthauer, Silas Cheek, Rocky Robbins, Rocky Schneider.
