DCSC Construction Update

For the last few months, we have been sharing lots of exciting updates from South Elementary. While we will continue to update you on this building every step of the way, we are happy to let you know that we now have high school updates to share as well! Everything is coming together very well, and we are so excited to see all of the new things to come over the next several years.

Keep reading for a brief overview of what is in the works.

If you have been inside South Elementary recently, you probably noticed that the front entrance felt smaller. That's because a temporary wall has gone up through the middle of it to block off space for our NEW front office to be completed. Construction in this area is ongoing. See below for progress photos!

So much more work has been done to the back of the building to construct the 14 additional classrooms that will soon occupy the space. Here is a close-up look at the current space.

Along with the classroom space you see above, a new front office, additional restrooms, a workroom, teacher dining space, a gymnasium expansion, and storage space are being built on the back side of the building.

Joists are the beams that go across open spaces and provide extra structural support. Roof decking is the foundation of the roof that keeps it connected to the base. You can see examples of both from our construction below!

Change is on its way to DCHS! Below are a series of photos that showcase our plans for this building. We plan to break ground at the school this spring, with a lot of work happening over the summer when students are not in school.

Join Mrs. Hollingsworth on the construction site at South Elementary for an update on what has been happening with the project and what else is to come!

Beginning in the Spring of 2024, traffic patterns will be changing on the DCHS campus until further notice. This video goes into detail about what you can expect. We understand this will take some time to get used to, but we appreciate your cooperation in this change.

This blog post, as well as other information (videos, photos, etc.), can all be found on our website and social media. Be sure to follow us to see what is happening now and what is happening next!
